Artist Banksy End Up On LA’s Stupidest Criminal List After What He Just Pulled!
Banksy has been charged with the crime of vandalism. The artists’ name is David William Noll and now he has been charged with FELONY vandalism. According to the criminal complaint, Noll defaced 2 of Banksy’s most famous works (Girl on Swing and Peeing Dog.) The L.A. County D.A. filed FOUR separate vandalism charges, because Noll allegedly defaced both works and 5 days later went back and used paint remover on the walls. Max penalty, which is 5 years in prison. Noll could end up on L.A.’s stupidest criminals list, because he recorded himself painting over Banksy’s art, and then posted it on YouTube. The LAPD got a search warrant to get his info, and then got the 35-year-old at his mom’s house in Modesto. All the info was taken off YouTube. The D.A. says the only way they will prosecute for vandalism is if the property owner complains. No one complained. According to the LAPD police report … the company that owns the Girl On Swing building — a jeweler called Tarina Tarantino — believes Banksy’s work increased the value of the property by $650,000. Crazy!
