A man believed high on methamphetamine was arrested after smashing the windows of at least two vehicles with a crowbar in a Palmdale motel parking lot, authorities said Monday.
Deputies were called to the Red Roof Inn at about 8:30 p.m. Sunday at 200 West Palmdale Boulevard, Lt. Don Rubio of the Palmdale Sheriff’s Station said.
A civilian had tried unsuccessfully to stop the man and “deputies were forced to use their Taser to subdue him,” Rubio said.
The man had methamphetamine and “paraphernalia consistent with smoking methamphetamine,” the lieutenant said.
He was arrested on suspicion of possession of methamphetamine and felony vandalism, Rubio said.
