Midnight Movie: Tagger Puts Videos on YouTube, Gets Arrested

Back in March, three guys taped themselves scamming Del Taco in order to get free food, which is essentially stealing. They put the whole how-to guide on YouTube, which led to their arrest.

Now, another artistic criminal has gotten himself arrested after posting videos of him tagging around Los Angeles. He's done $150,000 worth of damage, the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department estimates. Another video of "Buket" tagging a Metro bus in the middle of the day is below.

Or an homage to urban culture and intelligence (or lack there of)?

On the positive side, maybe after he gets out of jail he can be in Weezer's next video.

I kept waiting for him to fall onto the freeway, but much like Indy 4, I was disappointed...
