Update: San Ramon Police Arrest Serial Tagger

by ECT

The San Ramon Police Department would like a word with a man who they say has left his mark at three different spots in San Ramon last weekend.

Police ask if you know who this is that you do your part and call to their dispatch center at 925-973-2779.

Update via San Ramon Police:

During the morning of Sunday, July 7, 2019, members of the San Ramon Police Department responded to several reports of racially insensitive graffiti in the area surrounding Camino Ramon and Crow Canyon Road. The graffiti was spray-painted on several exterior walls of commercial buildings, as well as on an ATM in the area. Members of our agency and employees from local businesses took immediate steps to remove the graffiti in an attempt to limit the public’s exposure. Based on the initial investigation by our officers, it was apparent the graffiti was spray-painted during the early morning hours on Sunday, July 7, 2019.

On Monday, July 8, 2019, members of the San Ramon Police Department received several high-quality images of the involved suspect, which were taken by the video surveillance camera inside the vandalized ATM located at 2190 Camino Ramon. These images were immediately distributed to local law enforcement agencies in an attempt to identify the suspect. After a few days without any successful identification, we posted the photographs on our social media platforms to try and determine who was responsible for these crimes.

The response from the San Ramon Community was overwhelming. After receiving numerous investigative tips, San Ramon Police Detectives positively identified the suspect as Jacob Leigh, an 18-year-old from San Ramon. Detectives served a search warrant at Leigh’s home during the morning of Thursday, July 11, 2019. Numerous items of evidentiary value associated with the crimes committed were recovered during the search, but Leigh was not at the residence.

During the early afternoon on Thursday, July 11, 2019, Jacob Leigh arranged to turn himself in at the San Ramon Police Department. Detectives placed him under arrest, and he was booked at the Martinez Detention Facility for violations of Penal Code 422.6(b) (Hate crime) and multiple violations of  Penal Code 594 (Vandalism). His bail was set at $40,000.

The members of the San Ramon Police Department would like to thank the San Ramon Community for their assistance in identifying this suspect. Their commitment to justice, inclusion, and equality shined through based on their obvious displeasure associated with crimes of this nature.

I sure hope that, before they cleaned it up, people took photos of the graffiti this POS sprayed and use it in his trial. Also, I hope someone (Bubbah?) at the jail does to him what he has printed on his t-shirt.

I would personally and gleefully chop off his fingers if he got anywhere near my buildings and tagged them. I might chop something else as well so he doesn’t breed! Enough of these punks!

Bubbah can still “work him over” in county!

Lol he is an artist!!! He is 18 years old and his parents are to blame. Parents do not take the time to raise their kids right. Take responsibility for your kids and teach them right from wrong
