Man arrested for smashing car windows at a Palmdale motel

by City News Service • March 12, 2018

PALMDALE – A man believed high on methamphetamine was arrested after smashing the windows of at least two vehicles with a crowbar in a Palmdale motel parking lot, authorities said.

Deputies were called to the Red Roof Inn at about 8:30 p.m. Sunday, March 11, at 200 West Palmdale Boulevard, according to Lt. Don Rubio of the Palmdale Sheriff’s Station.

A civilian had tried unsuccessfully to stop the man and “deputies were forced to use their Taser to subdue him,” Rubio said.

The man had methamphetamine and “paraphernalia consistent with smoking methamphetamine,” the lieutenant said.

The suspect was arrested on suspicion of possession of methamphetamine and felony vandalism, Rubio said.

His name was not immediately released.

        Drug addiction doesn’t discriminate. Regardless of what drug it was the man was on. The av is meth capital and it’s in every race and gender. Simple as that
