Man Suspected Of Smashing Muni Bus After World Series Arrested

SAN FRANCISCO (CBS / AP) -- Police in San Francisco have arrested a 22-year-old man on charges of vandalism related to a public transit bus that was destroyed after the Giants won the World Series.

Gregory Tyler Graniss of San Francisco was taken into custody Tuesday on felony charges of vandalism and injuring or destroying a passenger transit vehicle.

Police cited tips and a photo published by the San Francisco Chronicle as help in tracking down Graniss. The photo shows a man smashing the windshield of the bus late Monday, as the city celebrated its World Series sweep against the Detroit Tigers. The transit bus was also torched.
