Pasadena Woman Accused of Throwing Rocks at Windows in Arcadia, Sierra Madre

ARCADIA, CA - Police officers in Arcadia on Sunday morning pulled over a woman in a black Mini Cooper who was wanted for throwing rocks into buildings and vehicles in Arcadia and Sierra Madre, authorities said.

Sierra Madre police said the woman is accused of throwing rocks through windows of three buildings and one parked car Sunday morning, but didn't release the time or locations.

Shortly after a bulletin on the Sierra Madre incidents went out at about 7:30 a.m., Arcadia officers who were also investigating similar cases of vandalism spotted the woman in her car and stopped her, said Arcadia police Sgt. E. Lopez.

The 35-year-old Pasadena woman was taken to a hospital for a mental evaluation and treatment, he said.

When officers searched the woman's car they found numerous rocks similar to the rocks found at the crime scenes, police said.

The investigation continued, Lopez said.
