Holding Inmates Accountable

"It had been allowed for years," Public Information Officer Brandon Warner told KGAB Radio of the graffiti.

Warner says now that their cell painting project is complete and the cells are clean and free of graffiti, they are holding inmates accountable for any damage they do to their cells while incarcerated.

Why Were Garcia and Munoz in Jail?

According to arrest records, Garcia was picked up on May 29, 2024, on a Cheyenne Municipal Court warrant for failure to appear, with an original charge of shoplifting.

Police say he had two metal pipes that contained fentanyl residue in his pants pocket at the time of his arrest.

He was released from jail on June 8.

Munoz was picked up on May 25, 2024, on a Natrona County warrant for failure to appear, with an original charge of shoplifting, and a Cheyenne Municipal Court warrant, with original charges of shoplifting, driver's license required, drug possession, and disturbance of peace and property.

As of Wednesday afternoon, he was still in jail.
