CHP officers found evidence at the scene that identified 24-year-old Cesar Arreguin of Vallejo as one of the taggers. He was arrested Friday and booked into the Solano County Jail for felony vandalism, McDermott said.

Investigators believe Arreguin and his associates are responsible for a recent rash of vandalism on freeways and private property in SolanoCounty, McDermott said.

McDermott said the vandalism usually occurs after dark making ithard to catch the vandals who cause thousands of dollars of taxpayer money to clean up.

The CHP plans to make more vandalism arrests in the future, McDermott said.
