The police department reported that a man was arrested for vandalizing Campbell's historic water tower, the third incidence of spray painting attributed to him. His actions included climbing the tower and spray painting, ultimately leading to a brief foot chase before his apprehension.
Campbell police noted that the tower has faced vandalism before, with incidents occurring on December 26 and January 9, highlighting a pattern of damage leading to the suspect's eventual arrest.
Chief Gary Berg emphasized community involvement, stating, 'Thanks to an observant community member who reported seeing the individual on the water tower, we were able to safely apprehend the suspect.' This underscores the importance of local vigilance in preserving community landmarks.
The historic water tower, built in 1928, was once functional but now stands empty, symbolizing the city's agricultural heritage and community pride that was threatened by recent vandalism.
