Graffiti writer ordered to pay $2K in restitution; gets suspended jail time

Tuesday, November 25th, 2008

PORTSMOUTH — A former city resident who spray painted graffiti on seven buildings was fined, given a suspended jail sentence, ordered to perform community service and to pay $2,320 in restitution.

Appearing in Portsmouth District Court for sentencing on Nov. 25, Alan Hall, 27, formerly of 100 Ledgewood Drive, petitioned the court to perform his 75 hours of community service in his new community of Manchester. That request was denied by Judge Sawako Gardner, who agreed to allow him to split the 75 hours between Portsmouth and Manchester.

“Some of it has to be done down here,” said the judge. “The vandalism was done in this community.”

Prosecutor Corey MacDonald told the court that while three of seven charges against Hall were dropped in exchange for his guilty pleas, the restitution will reimburse all seven property owners for the cost to remove the graffiti from their buildings.

Hall was sentenced to six months in the Rockingham County House of Corrections and fined $2,000, with all of it suspended pending his good behavior for two years. He is court-ordered to pay the restitution within 30 days and to provide proof to the court that the community service was completed.

Hall pleaded guilty to four class A misdemeanor counts of criminal mischief, admitting he spray painted graffiti on the city’s high school and six pieces of private property. As part of a plea agreement, one of the charges was reduced from a felony.

Portsmouth graffiti artist busted after posting photos of work on Web

Tuesday, July 22nd, 2008

PORTSMOUTH — A local graffiti artist’s online requests for feedback on his work ultimately landed him in hot water with police this month.

Thanks to those online postings, police arrested Alan Hall, 27, of 100 Ledgewood Drive for allegedly “tagging” numerous properties in the city.

Online postings of graffiti in the city with the tag “SINS” led to Hall’s arrest last month on seven counts of criminal mischief, including one felony for spray-painting buildings and road signs all over the city.

Hall was arraigned on the charges Monday in Portsmouth District Court and ordered not to possess any paint products between now and his probable cause hearing.

Hall allegedly spray painted numerous properties in the city in April and May, including the pump house of the pool at Portsmouth High School, the rear of the old Regal Cinema on Lafayette Road, the back door of the Green Monkey restaurant on Pleasant Street, the rear of the Waterstone Development, which houses the Goodwill, Shaw’s and other shops on Lafayette Road, at least two road signs and a traffic control box, police said.

Hall is free on $2,500 personal recognizance bail.

According to a police report, Detective Robert Munson had seen the tag “SINS” around town, as well as in Manchester and along Route 101. He also received information that the person who spray painted the pump house had posted photographs on the Internet.

Munson found images of the vandalized property on a graffiti site called “Bombing Science” and was able to track them to Hall.

When arrested, Hall admitted to the “SINS” tag, Munson said in his report.

Hall’s probable cause hearing is scheduled for Aug. 5.

When arrested, Hall admitted to the “SINS” tag, Munson said in his report.”

When you get arrested shut the fuckup until you speak to you lawyer!!  This asshole gave them a case..

State joins city in charging graffiti duo

Tuesday, July 1st, 2008

MANCHESTER – State Police filed felony charges yesterday afternoon against two area they say spray painted graffiti on bridges and noise barriers along Interstate 293.

Derek Gagnon of Goffstown, 20, and Justin Frost of Manchester, 19, did what Sgt. Chris Wagner said was thousands of dollars in damage to the highway structures. The defendants faced arraignment this morning in Manchester District Court on felony criminal mischief charges.

The two were similarly arrested at 3 a.m. June 19 on charges of spray-painting several Manchester buildings: Athens restaurant, TJ’s sports bar, The Elm Street Shop, La Cage Boutique, The Beauty Salon and Greg’s Place. State Trooper Marc Beaudoin, stationed in Milford, started an investigation the next day to link the two men to wider acts of graffiti.

According to Manchester Capt. Richard Valenti, the pair are among the city’s most prolific vandals. Authorities caught them June 19 allegedly with aerosol cans and hands wet with paint after a Verizon Center security guard spotted them on a surveillance camera. According to police, their alleged signature tags, “DKRANE” and “Hostyle Fam,” are widespread.

Both men pleaded innocent last month. Tracy Degges, a member of the mayor’s anti-graffiti task force, called the June bust a “big one” at the time.

“I mean, these guys’ tags are all over our city,” she said.

Gagnon pleaded no contest to unrelated charges last month of unauthorized use of a vehicle and resisting arrest. He received a one-year jail sentence with 11 months suspended.

Frost was charged with unrelated crimes last month as well: a stop sign violation, speeding, conduct in public and failure to appear in court on a charge of driving after revocation.

Buildings hit with spray-paint graffiti

Thursday, April 10th, 2008

[Via:www.cabinet.com]

WILTON — Vandals with spray paint have struck buildings around town again, nearly four years after a graffiti spree damaged a handful of buildings and several cars.

Police are investigating the most recent case of graffiti vandals who hit several locations, including the Wilton Falls building, the Procter Agency, town hall, the post office, two stop signs and the Wilton Police Station.

Police Chief Brent Hautanen said that because there is an ongoing investigation, he could release few details about the vandalism, which occurred sometime overnight between April 3 and 4. The discovery came around 7 a.m. on April 4.

Hautanen said he didn’t have an estimate yet of the total damage. Town-owned buildings have been cleaned, and the cost will be equal to the time spent to clean it, but he couldn’t even give an estimate of what it would take to clean one of the worst cases — the bricks on the second floor of the post office building, where a black, orange and white mural with undistinguishable lettering was painted.
In June 2004 vandals struck two churches, the elementary school a business and several cars with spray paint. Hautanen said that case has since been solved and they are pursuing this new case vigorously.

Anyone with information is asked to call Wilton Police at XXX XX52.
