California IN BRIEF : RIVERSIDE : Police Arrest 4 in Graffiti Crackdown

In their ongoing crackdown on taggers that has led to more than 200 arrests since November, police arrested one man and three youths in hopes of putting another paint-armed team of vandals out of business. The arrests came after members of a tagging crew were seen painting the side of a city utility building with graffiti, then signing it with their moniker, Detective Ron Wright said. Police arrested Glenn Plenty Hawk, 18, on suspicion of probation violation from a previous tagging conviction, and three juveniles on suspicion of malicious mischief.
