Ventura County Sheriff's Department

During the first week of May two businesses in the downtown area of Ojai were vandalized with red spray paint. The vandalism included the moniker of the “tagger.” During the investigation, Deputy Gunnar Dike recognized the moniker as that of a subject he knew from prior criminal contact. Deputy Dike conducted a probation search and located evidence linking Sangster to both vandalisms. Sangster was arrested without incident for 2 counts of misdemeanor vandalism and was booked at the Pre-Trial Detention Facility.
