Drinking and Writing = Lesson Learned

Thursday, January 10th, 2008

You know, I used to often drink when I would be out writing, or maybe it was the other way around, either way I’m very glad to have never been incarcerated for drunk and writing. The following news piece should be a lesson learned for all of you who like to get a little tipsy when you’re out and about!

Athens police arrested two men yesterday morning and charged them with criminal mischief for painting graffiti on three storage buildings.

Police Captain Marty Bruce saie 23-year-old Luis Cuarado and 26-year-old Humberto Torres were each charged with three counts of third-degree criminal mischief and one count of public intoxication.

Bruce said Torres was also charged with carrying a concealed weapon after police found him carrying a pair of nunchuks.

Bruce said an officer saw the men drop some objects by a utility pole and noticed that Cuarado had red paint on his hand. The officer found two cans of red spray paint at the utility pole.

Bruce said Sergeant Jason White determined that Cuarado and Torres had painted graffiti on the three buildings near the Alabama Veterans Museum on Pryor Street.

Digital Camera Picture Causes Incarceration

Tuesday, December 18th, 2007

Just archiving an interesting news piece. Carry on.

The graffiti tagger “RESF” was apprehended by the PBP Graffiti Task Force at Brashear High School and charged with 5 counts of Graffiti Vandalism.

Police say the suspect was originally wanted for numerous counts of graffiti vandalism in the Brookline area of the City.

He was allegedly caught in the act of defacing a wall in November by a vigilant citizen who snapped a picture with a digital camera of him.

With the help of citizens of Pittsburgh, Graffiti Task Force was able to obtain information and apprehend the juvenile without incident.

Police believe the juvenile may also be responsible for tagging in the Dormont Area of the City.

That incident is currently under investigation with the Dormont Police Department.
