 | Horacio Walls, an 18-year-old Stockton resident, was arrested Wednesday for allegedly striking a Pleasanton Safeway manager with a skateboard.
Walls and four other young men reportedly tried to videotape themselves skateboarding through the Safeway at 1701 Santa Rita Road around 9 p.m. Dec. 8. After being confronted by several employees and the manager, police said the young men refused to leave.
Later while attempting to leave the store, the manager stopped Walls, who then allegedly picked up his skateboard and hit the manager in the arm, hand and head. The manager suffered cuts and bruises.
According to police, Walls was charged with assault with a deadly weapon upon meeting with Det. Larry Cox to discuss the investigation in Tracy. Police said he admitted to the assault and was booked at Santa Rita Jail.

Posted by Cosmic-Charlie, a resident of the Downtown neighborhood, on Dec 20, 2007 at 7:12 am I guess there must not be enough to do in Stockton for the youngster.
Again, lack of imagination, respect, and a solid sense of right and wrong. More likely he needs training, discipline, and authority...put him in the Marine Corp...yeh, thats it....
