By Sara Beth Williams–
A 27-year-old man was arrested early Tuesday morning in connection with a felony vandalism incident that caused an estimated $3,000 in property damage.

According to the Citrus Heights Police Department, officers responded to the area of Rush Drive and Bay Oak Avenue just before 6 a.m. after receiving reports of a man vandalizing a vehicle. The suspect, identified as Joseph H. Rolon, is accused of damaging a vehicle at a private residence. Police say the suspect and victim were related.

Sgt. Dave Jones said medics were requested to the scene to evaluate Rolon, who reportedly suffers from mental health issues. It was not immediately known whether he sustained any injuries during the incident.

Rolon was taken into custody on the morning of June 17 and booked on felony vandalism charges due to the extent of the property damage. Sacramento County Jail records show Rolon was released the same day.
