Man pleads to graffiti, may face 2 years in jail
March 27, 2007

An 18-year-old Corpus Christi man pleaded guilty Monday to two charges of graffiti.

Jonathan Sanchez's attorney asked 117th District Judge Sandra Watts to give him probation instead of jail time.

Sanchez is accused of causing more than $5,400 in damage to Ray High School on Sept. 7 and Sept. 8, 2006. He also is accused of damaging businesses on Chaparral Street.

Sanchez's co-defendant, 21-year-old Alex Gonzalez, was sentenced to 10 months in jail on March 6 after pleading guilty to the same crime.

Sanchez faces six months to two years in a state jail facility, according court documents.

Watts had not decided late Monday on Sanchez's punishment.
