* Rep. John Cabello speaking on the House floor last night…

Transcript…

Ladies and gentlemen of the House. [I’ve] just been notified that we had somebody going through the cars over in the parking deck next to the Stratton. Some things have been taken out of some of the cars. So if you park over there, please make sure you check your vehicle. Luckily, they caught the person and have arrested them.

This goes to my point of safety from yesterday. The Secretary of State needs to put cameras for our safety, for your safety, for your family safety, and anybody that visit this campus. Do it and do it quickly. Thank you.

Cabello’s Friday floor speech is here.

I reached out to the Secretary of State’s office today and was told that cameras and call boxes have been planned for that parking garage. “That was always the plan, not reactive to this.”

Rep. Sanalitro asked me to send you a message regarding her car being broken into this evening around 6PM while she was parked in her assigned space in the Capitol Complex parking garage.

With session expected to go well into the night, she is urging staff and members to be safe while returning to their cars. She also is extending her thanks to the Secretary of State Capital Police for their prompt and professional response.

* Rep. CD Davidsmeyer…

Just a brief follow up point of personal privilege to what the previous speaker said. So not only did this person break into cars, they also made threats to the owner of that car. I want everybody to know that this person will probably be out in a couple hours. So make sure you lock your cars now before they get out.

The Secretary of State’s office and Sanalitro’s comms person confirmed that Alicia M Jones was the one arrested. And according to the sheriff’s website, she’s still in jail.

…Adding… As of this afternoon, she appears to be out of jail.
