Serial Sacramento tagger sentenced to prison for felony vandalism
A person responsible for thousands of dollars of property damage was sentenced to one year and four months in prison today.
Christian Vazquez received his sentence at Sacramento Superior Court today by Judge John Winn after he pled to two counts of felony vandalism.
Between September 2018 and September 2020, Vasquez committed a series of graffiti tags at multiple locations in Sacramento, causing thousands of dollars in damage. Sacramento Police officers specialized in graffiti abatement caught Vasquez in the act of tagging with a moniker and located a number of tags with the same moniker name.
Further investigation uncovered additional tags by Vasquez in and around Sacramento, including downtown.
Vasquez was ordered to pay for the cost of cleaning up his graffiti and to stay away from downtown Sacramento. He is also prohibited from possessing any materials or tools used in tagging and from associating with known taggers.
