A man police called a “serial slingshot shooter” has been arrested after victimizing Azusa residents for nearly a decade.
Prince King, 81, was arrested Thursday after officers were dispatched to the 900 block of N. Enid Avenue due to a quality of life issue in the area, according to an Azusa Police Department news release.
A lengthy investigation has found that over the course of at least nine years, “dozens of civilians fell victim to a serial slingshot shooter” who allegedly broke windows and windshields and nearly hit people with ball bearings, the news release said.
Officers from the department’s Directed Enforcement Unit served a search warrant Thursday in the area, where the incidents were continuously reported.
“Finally, the suspected Prince-King of Azusa was arrested,” the statement said. “During the search, ball bearings and a slingshot were found in his home.”
No further information was provided.
