Gendora, CA -- Los Angeles County officials are undecided whether to prosecute two 18-year-olds for apparently trying to enforce a city ordinance in Glendora, Calif.

 

Keleigh Marshall and Christina Giammalva were arrested Feb. 19 for placing stickers on yard signs for Glendora City Councilman Gary Clifford, a candidate for re-election next Tuesday.

 

Glendora law prohibits placing political campaign signs on public property.

 

The stickers read: "This sign violates Glendora city ordinance."

 

Clifford confronted Marshall and Giammalva and demanded they remove the stickers, the Los Angeles Times reported. When they refused, he called the police -- who showed up in four cars.

 

The suspects told the police Clifford was violating the law with his signs, but police cuffed Marshall and Giammalva and booked them.

 

When police issued a public statement about the case, the Times noted, they identified the teenage suspects by name but left Clifford's name out of it.

 

Police Chief Chuck Montoya told the newspaper the city attorney has advised the department not to enforce the sign ordinance, which the city council adopted in 2004 -- with Clifford voting in favor of the restriction.
