Baldwin Park police arrested two suspected taggers Friday who apparently have no regard for military service.
Louis Andrew Lopez, a 23-year-old parolee from Baldwin park, was booked on suspicion of felony vandalism along with a local 16-year-old boy after reportedly etching graffiti into a large marble war memorial at Morgan Park.
Police report a citizen phone police to report the vandalism about 4 p.m., then pointed the suspects out to officers.
Local veterans have expressed outrage at the incident, as has Mayor Manuel Lozano.
