ALTON, Texas ValleyCentral) — A man was arrested Tuesday after police say he defaced several pieces of city property at an Alton park.
Rogelio Gutierrez, 23, was arrested on charges of graffiti, according to Hidalgo County records.
On Monday, Alton police made a post on Facebook asking for the public’s help in locating the individual who vandalized Elizondo Park overnight.
