Deputies patrolling businesses near the border of Mission Viejo and Laguna Hills early Monday said they caught a man wearing a Donald Trump mask causing damage to at least one parked vehicle.
The officers were conducting checks in the Cabot-Vista Viejo area at around 4 a.m. when "they had to do a double take" after spotting somebody "resembling President Trump slashing tires and breaking the windshield of a parked vehicle," the Orange County Sheriff's Department said.
The person had a loaded handgun, body armor, an airsoft shotgun and a helmet, according to the Sheriff's Department. His car also had fake license plates and amber "takedown" lights attached to the windshield, the agency said.
The suspect, 56-year-old Rory Zimmerman, was safely arrested for a possible felony vandalism charge, the Sheriff's Department said. Bail was set at $100,000.
