“Ronaile Burton, who allegedly slashed the tires of at least 19 Waymo vehicles. San Francisco prosecutors have filed criminal charges against her to which she has pleaded not guilty. A hearing is scheduled for Tuesday.

Burton’s public defender, Adam Birka-White, says in a statement that Burton ‘is someone in need of help and not jail’…”

It sounds like they need both [1].

She must have whored for attention on social media, because someone who has two brain cells to rub together and is motivated to inflict this kind of damage and get away with it, can pretty easily do so.

SFPD identifies them as male.

Also, he was reportedly driving "a rental car that was past due... On June 26, the suspect vehicle [from all 20 slashings] was located on the 300 block of Bryant Street and the suspect was inside the vehicle. Burton slashed the tires on the suspect vehicle as well as the tires of the tow truck that had responded on behalf of the rental car company to seize the suspect vehicle. He then broke windows on both vehicles before vandalizing five occupied vehicles along the Embarcadero."

I take it he's not gonna give the rental company 5 stars on Yelp?
