 Suspected Illegal Pet Vendor Ringleasder Taken Into Custody by BID Officers
This past Saturday, BID officers were assisting a shopper in trying to find her vehicle in the 1100 block of S. Maple Street. The officers entered the elevator leading to a parking lot and saw illegal pet vendor Juan Mena inside the same elevator with a stack of 4 caged bunnies. The suspect had a warrant out for his arrest because he failed to appear in court to face previous charges.
BID officers immediately took him into custody and called the Los Angeles Police Department. The Alley Officers responded as did other BID Safety officers and Mena was taken into custody by LAPD Newton officers. Mena tried to use a fictitious name to avoid arrest however BID officers contacted SLO Linton (who is on vacation) and she confirmed Mena's identity for arresting LAPD Newton Division officers. Mena is due back in court this week.
