GLENDALE, AZ (Oct 22) – Manny Cruz, candidate for Mayor and longtime Glendale resident, will release footage from a security video that was captured by State Capitol Police of State Representative Jerry Weiers intentionally causing damage to State property in a fit of rage in March 2012.

In August 2011, the State of Arizona, with tax payer dollars, purchased six large planters, although purchased for security purposes, it was well known by Capitol observers and workers that Representative Jerry Weiers would insist on parking his motorcycle in an unauthorized zone by the entrance of the House building, so these planters served as a deterrent to Jerry as well.

The morning that the security footage was captured, State Representative Jerry Weiers got out of his truck, placed a yellow nylon rope around one of those planters, wrapped the other end of the nylon rope around the truck, got back into his vehicle and drove off.

According to State Capitol employees, the planter was moved approximately ten feet. When security and maintenance ground crew noticed tire marks around the planter area, and that the planter had been forcibly moved, the security tape was reviewed.

In the video, one can clearly see that Representative Jerry Weiers was the culprit. After weeks of hard work by the Arizona Department of Public Safety, the security footage capturing Jerry’s actions has surfaced.
