Glendor-a-ma! Vandals! Police! Politics! [Updated]

Now for the good stuff from the SGV Trib:

Two women were arrested late Monday for vandalizing campaign signs, police said.

Lt. Gino Domico said Keleigh Marshall, 18, and Christina Giammalva, 18, both of Glendora, were booked for vandalism and later released.

The women were seen at about 10 p.m. in the 300 Block of North Valley Center vandalizing signs in support of Mayor Doug Tessitor, Councilman Gary Clifford and Councilman Ken Herman, police said.

"One of the victims saw the women and placed them under citizens arrest until officers arrived," Domico said.


Um, wait a tick. One of the "victims"? Since I assume city council signs in Glendora aren't able to speak, I take this to mean that Mayor Tessitor, Councilman Clifford or Councilman Herman "placed" the girls under "citizens arrest" until the police got there. Heh, heh, heh. [OK, so "victims" likely means the property owners who put up the signs, but you have to admit that my interpretation is more exciting.] I bet they also tried to make sure that the girls weren't operatives working for the other side.

Because in Glendora, you can never be too sure. (Scroll down through the Glendora archive for more; see especially here and here.)
