Menifee Teen Wanted on Vandalism Charges

Back on July 2, 2007, up north by the Bay Area town of Pleasanton, a high school student was badly beaten by several partiers.

Police have issued a warrant for the arrest of 18-year-old Michael Daniel Page, a resident of Menifee, on vandalism charges.

Earlier, two other people were arrested in connection with the beating, one of whom is another Menifee teenager, aged 17. Police have withheld his identity.

According to The Valley Herald newspaper, the student who was beaten up was 17 year old Antonio Ortega...

Ortega was badly beaten at a small gathering that got out of hand when it was listed on the social networking Web site MySpace and 70 to 80 uninvited guests showed up. The victim tried to get them to leave, but several people began vandalizing three vehicles parked at the home. They then hit and kicked him and struck him with a baseball bat and wooden chair.

Shortly after the assault, a 17-year-old Menifee boy was arrested on suspicion of assault with a deadly weapon and vandalism. Police did not release his name because he is a minor.
