Graffiti Suspect Arrested

On April 12, 2008 at about 2:00 A.M., two parked Monterey Police cars were “tagged” with graffiti in the 300 block of Alvarado while the officers were investigating a call.  When the officers returned, a witness to the incident provided them with a suspect and vehicle description.  The vehicle was quickly located and Cody Hubbard, a 22-year-old male from Salinas was identified and arrested for felony vandalism.

Further investigation revealed that Hubbard’s tag of “OATH” has been found throughout Monterey and in several other cities.  The Monterey Police Department has linked Hubbard to seventeen other cases of vandalism in the City dating back to 2006. 

Hubbard was booked at the Monterey County Jail and held on $75,000.00 bail.  All seventeen cases identified as occurring in the City of Monterey have been forwarded to the District Attorney’s office for prosecution.  The damage of all the cases combined is approximately $2000.00.

Contact Lt. Leslie Sonné at 831.646.3971 or sonne@ci.monterey.ca.us for more information.
