Man Arrested For Carving His Name On Interior Wall Of The Alamo

Man Arrested For Carving His Name On Interior Wall Of The Alamo

http://www.sacurrent.com/Blogs/archives/2015/09/04/man-arrested-for-carving-his-name-on-interior-wall-of-the-alamo



Julio Perez, a 22-year-old man from Laredo, was arrested yesterday for carving his name on a wall in the Monks' Burial Room of The Alamo.

An Alamo Tour Guide saw Perez using a key to etch into the wall. She called out to him "You can't do that, you need to stop!", according to the police report.

Perez fled from the guide, but was apprehended and detained by Alamo Rangers officers, who handle security at the shrine.

The guide found a 3-inch by 1-inch carving that read "Julio" on the limestone wall.

What was he thinking? He is not even a teenager who may think it is cool to do but a grown man decides to desecrate a historic building?
