PITTSBURGH (AP) — Pittsburgh police are fine with giving peace a chance, as long as you say it and don't spray it.
Myers Williams, of Brentwood, has been charged with causing nearly $24,000 damage by spray-painting 34 images, mostly of peace signs, on 13 downtown buildings.
Police say the spree occurred from about 4:20 to 4:50 a.m. on March 18.
The 24-year-old was arraigned Monday on 13 counts of criminal mischief, one for each of the buildings he allegedly damaged. Police identified him through surveillance video.
Online court records don't list an attorney for Williams, who faces a preliminary hearing May 9.
