The Ione Skate Park was vandalized this last Monday night. City Manager Kim Kerr showed photos of the tagging at the Ione City Council meeting on Tuesday. She stated that law enforcement officials believed that the incident was “kid stuff,” after reviewing photos of local gang affiliated graffiti styles. “Stylistically speaking, it is pretty clear that this is not the work of professionals,” Kerr said. The vandalism included images of a phoenix bird, as well as local area codes. The tagging has since been painted over. Anyone with any information on this incident is encouraged to contact the Ione Police Department.
