AZUSA, Calif. (KCAL, KCBS) – A man police called a “serial slingshot shooter” was arrested after harassing Azusa residents for nearly a decade.

Prince King, 81, was arrested Thursday after officers were dispatched to the 900 block of N. Enid Avenue regarding a quality of life issue in the area, according to an Azusa police news release.

A lengthy investigation has revealed that over the course of at least nine years, “dozens of citizens have fallen victim to a serial slingshot shooter” who allegedly smashed windows and windshields and nearly hit people with ball bearings, the press release said.

Officers from the department’s Directed Enforcement Unit executed a search warrant Thursday in the neighborhood where the incidents have been continuously reported.

“Ultimately, the suspect, Prince King of Azusa, was arrested,” the statement said. “During the search, ball bearings and a slingshot were seized from his residence.”
