Responding to a student’s report of a damaged office door in the Art Building before dawn today (Feb. 21), campus police arrested a man whom they found asleep in the office. Police took Nicholas Chavez to Yolo County Jail on a charge of felony vandalism. 

Chavez is not a UC Davis student or employee. 

Police Sgt. Bill Beerman thanked the student who reported the damaged door at 4 a.m. “We were able to make this arrest because the student was engaged and called us,” he said.
