LAKEPORT, Calif. – A Lakeport man was arrested early Sunday after he allegedly vandalized flower baskets that hang from light poles in the city's downtown.

Hudson Lawrence Jack, 21, was arrested for public intoxication and vandalism, according to Lakeport Police Chief Brad Rasmussen.

At 2 a.m. this past Sunday, Lakeport Police officers were dispatched to the 100 block of N. Main Street to investigate the report of an intoxicated subject vandalizing a downtown city street light, Rasmussen said.

Two alert witnesses notified police that the subject was hanging from the light pole and pulling down the hanging flower baskets, according to Rasmussen.

Rasmussen said police responded and located two decorative flower baskets lying in the street. A witness reported that the subject jumped up and hung onto the flower baskets until they broke, then threw them onto the sidewalk and kicked them into the street.

Officers located the subject, identified as Jack, and took him into custody, Rasmussen said.

Jack was booked on the two misdemeanor counts, with bail set at $2,500. Jail records indicated he later posted the required portion of bail and was released.
