Orange City Councilor Dr. Wayne Guidry helped police catch a vandal Tuesday morning. Guidry, who is the executive director of operations for the West Orange-Cove school district, found a man who had been throwing bricks at cars in the district’s administration building parking lot.
Police were called at 7:55 a.m. to the administration building at 902 W. Park Avenue after an SUV was hit with a brick. Officer L.T. Holland reported Guidry got in his vehicle and looked for the man who had thrown the bricks. Guidry saw the man at one intersection trying to pull a street sign out of the ground.
Police caught up with the man at First and Park and Guidry left. Holland reported that 30-year-old Hassan Bell of Orange was arrested for Class A misdemeanor criminal mischief. The crime carries a punishment of up to a year in jail along with a maximum fine of $4,000.
After the incident, Guidry attended a city council meeting and took the oath of office for a full three-year as the representative from single-member District 2.
