LA mother ordered to stand trial in graffiti spree

LOS ANGELES A mother accused of shuttling her two sons and their three friends around in a sport utility vehicle so they could spray-paint graffiti has been ordered to stand trial in Los Angeles on felony charges.

L-A County District Attorney's office spokeswoman Sandi Gibbons says the judge found sufficient evidence today to allow the case against Victoria Villicano to proceed.

Villicano's 20-year-old son, David Ramirez also was ordered to stand trial.

Villicano and Ramirez are each charged with five felony counts of vandalism.

A witness who followed the S-U-V told police that Villicano made several stops to allow the five to spray paint the tags "H-I-V" and "H-I-V-C."

They're due back in court for arraignment on October 17th.
