AZUSA -- A South El Monte man didn't notice a uniformed police officer Sunday as he vandalized a pay phone with gang graffiti, authorities said.
An officer managed to sneak up behind John Escamillo, 21, as he vandalized a pay phone about 11:45 a.m. near Foothill Boulevard and San Gabriel Avenue, Azusa police Sgt. Andy Sutcliffe said in a written statement.
"The officer walked up behind Escamillo without being seen and arrested him without resistance," Sutcliffe said.
He was booked at the Azusa Police Department's jail before being released with a citation, police said.
