Morgan Hill – A 33-year-old Morgan Hill man was arrested Thursday night in connection with extensive vandalism to the Mount Hope Cemetery last week.
Justin W. Cregar, a Barnell Avenue resident was booked into county jail on suspicion of felony vandalism charges. He was being held Friday on $10,000 bail.
“He apologized,” Morgan Hill Police Lt. Joe Sampson said Friday. The vandalism occurred Feb. 4.
Morgan Hill received a tip from a citizen who provided a description of a suspect and an address on Barnell Avenue. When police spoke with Cregar, he admitted to being involved in the vandalism and also told police there were a group of 18- to 20-year-olds “who were partying in the cemetery at the time and participated,” Sampson said.
“We’ll continue to ‘shake the bushes,’ so to speak,” Sampson said. “We’ll continue following leads and talking to people until we can bring the others in.”
