Is This News Article a Joke or am I just that slow?? Kids nick is “El Barto.”

So, I came across a news article from March 13, 2007 and I’m stumped. Is this for real?!? (Laughing hard right now.)

Saif Azzuz, 19, who used the tag name “El Barto” and “Bart”, will be sentenced to three years probation and will perform community service and clean graffiti under an Educational Sentencing Program, Deputy District Attorney Craig Brooks said. Seven counts of vandalism causing more than $50,000 each are to be dismissed at sentencing on April 9, Brooks said. The amount of restitution Azzuz must pay has not been determined, Brooks said.
