Regarding the announcement of Mijangos’ plea agreement, Chief Bob Day stated: “Graffiti remains a significant concern for our community. It is one of the most common complaints I hear about, and I understand the reason behind it. Senseless vandalism makes a city look neglected and tarnishes its image. The arrest and significant sentence for Jerry Mijangos sends a message to the people committing this illegal act that it will not be tolerated. Thank you to our officers who are trying to investigate and apprehend graffiti suspects and the DA’s office for their continued partnership.”
