Additionally, he is wanted for vandalizing apartments, though the amount in damages is just under the amount for a felony charge ($400).
Guilty!

“Dual” citizenship?
For a Colombian, no less?
One or the other, no duals. Colombian preferred, along with deportation, for this jerk
He better hope he gets his scrawny unamerican ass out of town before the Cajun Rednecks catch him. Swamp People probably could use some gator bait.
For some reason, I don't have much faith in Holder's/Obama's Dept of Injustice for being on this case...
Some good ol' boys in the South might find him, though...
Interesting that he is charged with ARSON, which I believe would be a felony...
I can live with flag burning being a felony because it is arson...
Especially with some of the nasty fires we have had in different parts of the country...
LSU student [Isaac Eslava] in custody for flag burning [arson, multiple felony charges]
That’s a ugly gal. And with a guy’s name, as well. Should have fun in the Louisiana prison system.
