I regret to report that the gentleman behind the moustaches was arrested, the NYPD announced Friday evening.
Moustache Man’s iconic cursive has been appearing in more and more stations and has gotten an increasing amount of media attention recently. Unfortunately it also got the attention of the NYPD’s vandal taskforce aka Vandal Squad who has been tracking his work over the past two months.
Our friend, who was only trying to make New Yorkers smile, faces charges of Felony Criminal Mischief, Misdemeanor Criminal Mischief, Making Graffiti and Possession of Graffiti Instrument.
The real crime here is that the police department wastes so much time and money tracking down street artists instead of concentrating on real criminals.
Posession of a grafitti instrument is a real charge? Hope I don’t walk out of my house with a sharpie in my pocket EVER! Come on Policemen, we have had grafitti since the days of Pompeii and before, go catch rapists and murderers! I love this guy and my husband and I have 100’s of phone pics of his work. Think I will do a Facebook page and post all our pics so thi will live on. Everyone elt’s keep moustache man alive in our hearts!
