The Fort Stockton Police Department is combatting the recent spike in vandalism across town this past week. According to Police Chief Robert Lujan, the FSPD has identified an individual who has been tagging walls, dumpsters, stop signs and more.

The person being charged in connection with the vandalism was not able to be identified by the police department due to the individual being a minor.

Lujan confirmed that the minor being charged with multiple offenses has been arrested previously.

With the chances of copycats and others participating in the vandalism as a crew, the FSPD has further extended its investigations to trace all vandalism to its source.
