About Vandalism Charges
A vandalism charge generally involves damaging or defacing property. The exact charge, and whether it is treated as a misdemeanor or a felony, varies with the facts and is decided by prosecutors and the court. The cost of the damage affects whether it is a misdemeanor or felony.
After a Vandalism Arrest in Arcadia

Criminal cases from the area are heard at Clara Shortridge Foltz Criminal Justice Center and Alhambra Courthouse (serving Arcadia).
