Prosecutors filed 15 charges Wednesday against a 19-year-old La Habra man for his alleged role in what police described as a “mass vandalism spree” in which dozens of car windows were shattered with BBs in Whittier earlier this year.
Christian Brian Peña, 19, faces 10 counts of vandalism with a value under $400, four counts of discharging a BB gun with gross negligence and one count of resisting arrest, according to the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office. All the charges are misdemeanors.
