Alfred De La Garza, who refers to himself as “The Beast,” was arrested for assault with a deadly weapon at Marquez Place on Tuesday, Nov. 24 after attacking another homeless man.
Caltrans spent hours excavating Garza’s encampment in the hillside along Pacific Coast Highway on Sunday, Nov. 15 removing three tons of trash and debris that accumulated over the three years he had been living there.
