P. v. Tabor CA2/6
Tabor took shelter in a church on a cold night. He was drunk, and he continued to drink inside the church. He tried to color his long hair with blue dye he brought along. He spilled the dye on the carpet and furniture. Based on this incident, he was charged with two counts of felony vandalism and one count of misdemeanor trespass (Ventura County Superior Court Case No. 2014015245). (§§ 594, subd. (b)(1), 594.3, subd. (a), 602, subd. (m).) The jury acquitted him of all but the trespass count.
On another occasion, Tabor banged on the door of a house late at night and shouted that he needed scissors. He broke a window, entered the house, took scissors from a kitchen drawer, and began cutting his hair. The woman who lived there was terrified. She escaped when he went down a hallway looking for a razor. A deputy sheriff saw Tabor trying to get out a sliding glass door by repeatedly throwing himself at it.
