Arrests in Colleyville July 17 – July 23, 2015

Christopher Ryan Rucker, 19

On Sierra Drive in Grapevine a radio was taken from a red Eclipse and on Sierra Drive, Chaparral Court and Hickory Lake Drive, obscene images, swastikas and racial slurs were painted in the bright colors on cars and a house before a resident called 911 about a burglary in progress, Bob Murphy of the Grapevine Police Department reported.

Murphy said police stopped a car about 2:43 a.m. in the 2700 block of Pin Oak Drive.
Inside police found stolen including a wallet and credit cards along with the ever present and most incriminating spray-paint cans. As officers searched the neighborhood they found vandalized cars.

When morning rolled in residents began to find they had been victims overnight to “punks” as one homeowner described the perpetrators.

Because the cars were randomly selected and belonged to white residents, the men will not be charged with hate crimes, Murphy said.

“This is unusual, particularly in a city like Grapevine, because of the high community standards,” Murphy said. “That type of conduct isn’t tolerated and just isn’t widely seen.”

Houses on Sierra Drive and Cimarron Trail were painted with a swastika and a racial slur and had to be repainted.  Other residents were cleaning the images off their trucks and cars Monday afternoon.

The four Colleyville marauders were described as “punks looking for attention” by one of the victims in Grapevine.
