There was a real hefty reward on the head of these two scoundrels. I wonder if his defense will be, Deminished Capacity, due to his being drunk?
That is great news. Hopefully the other one will be caught.

The LAPD has made at least one arrest in the Dodgers opening day beating of Giants fan and paramedic Bryan Stow, a department source confirmed to KFI NEWS Sunday.
Stow's family was informed, the source said.
A man and a woman were being questioned at the LAPD's Northeast Station, though it was unclear if those included the one man under arrest.
The L.A. Times reported the arrest was made during a morning SWAT raid on an apartment building in East Hollywood.
The Times reported others in the building said the man arrested was bald and had tattoos on his neck -- resembling one of the two men shown in a police sketch.
Last week, LAPD Chief Charlie Beck held a news conference to again call for the publics' help in solving the case, and revealed the woman suspected of driving the getaway car was wearing a Dodgers jersey with Andre Ethier's number.
"This is new information, this has not been made public before," Beck told reporters.
More than a dozen detectives have been working the case non-stop since the assault March 31, when Stow was attacked from behind as he and two friends walked through a stadium parking lot.
About two weeks after the incident detectives caught what they hoped was the first big break in the case -- when someone working at a dry cleaner in Boyle Heights reported someone had dropped-off a bloody Dodgers jersey for cleaning.
LAPD sources told KFI NEWS the jersey was immediately tested for the presence of DNA evidence.
It's not clear if that effort played a role in this morning's arrest.
