What happened?
According to a Westlake Police Department police report, the department received a vandalism complaint from a Westlake resident at approximately 7:01 a.m. that day, who said an older man had spray-painted her house.
When the officers arrived, they noticed the word a**hole spray-painted on the resident's garage door, the report said.
