When Tagging Goes Wrong
Written by admin on December 29, 2009
A Vista boy was in custody today on suspicion of 232 counts of graffiti vandalism, authorities said.
The boy caused a total of more than $101,000 in damage to areas he tagged in Vista, said San Diego County sheriff’s Sgt. Joe Mata.
Deputies arrested the boy late Monday morning at his residence, he said, adding that investigators were looking into whether he was responsible for an additional 85 incidents of vandalism.
The boy’s name was withheld because he is a minor. His age was not immediately released.
I can’t help but feel a little bad for the kid since I’m sure it was peer pressure that did him in, but, you also need to have a stronger will than that. There was a lot of peer pressure on me and other kids but we never sat in a jail cell.
