Narrative:
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
During the third week of November 2025, Ventura County Sheriff’s Office Camarillo Patrol Station deputies responded to the area of Springville Drive at the US 101 Highway in reference to graffiti vandalism. Upon arrival, deputies did not locate the suspect but noticed graffiti vandalism on the freeway entrance sign on Springville Drive. It was later determined the amount of damage caused by the graffiti vandalism was more than $400 dollars, in violation of California Penal Code Section 594(B)(1) – [ Felony Vandalism].
 
Based on the type of crime, Camarillo Patrol Services Deputies contacted the Camarillo Special Enforcement Unit (SEU). SEU Detectives began assisting in the investigation. Through the course of the investigation, multiple warrants were written which were approved by the County of Ventura Superior Court. As a result of the search warrants, probable cause was developed to arrest Reveles for felony vandalism.
 
During the first week of January 2026, a search warrant was written for Reveles’ residence, vehicles, person, and property. The search warrant was signed on 1/13/2026, by a Magistrate of the Ventura County Superior Court.
 
01/15/2026, at approximately 0715 hours, detectives from various investigative units within the Ventura County Sheriff’s Office conducted a traffic enforcement stop on Reveles’ vehicle. Reveles was taken into custody for felony vandalism.
 
At approximately 0830 hours, detectives served the signed Ventura County Search warrant at Reveles’ residence located in the 900 Block of S. “E” Street, in the City of Oxnard.
 
During the service of the search warrant, detectives located various pieces of evidence linking Reveles to the crime. Some of the pieces of evidence included spray paint, an etching tool, and various stickers bearing the tagging crew’s name.
 
Reveles was later transported and booked at the Ventura County Pre-Trial Detention Facility for the earlier mentioned crime.
