Man Charged With Throwing Rock Through Window of Starbucks Reserve

INDIO (CNS) – A 42-year-old man accused of throwing a rock through the
front window of the Starbucks Reserve in Palm Springs was charged today
with vandalism.

Joshua Taylor Moon is scheduled to be arraigned at the Larson Justice
Center in Indio Wednesday afternoon on the single felony count of vandalism,
with an enhancement for being on probation at the time of the alleged crime,
according to court records.

Moon was arrested Monday morning and was being held on $10,000 bail at
the John J. Benoit Detention Center, according to the Palm Springs Police
Department.

Police said officers responded to the Starbucks Reserve, 111 N. Palm
Canyon Drive, around 7 a.m. Monday on a report of vandalism.

With the help of a witness, officers were able to locate Moon and
determined he had allegedly entered the Starbucks Reserve and broken the window
from inside, according to police.

According to court records, Moon pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor
charge of vandalism on July 13 for shattering the window of II Corso, a
business next door to the Starbucks Reserve, with a rock on July 9. He was
serving a year of summary probation for that crime when he was arrested in
connection with Monday morning’s vandalism.
