Making strides in graffiti prosecutions

There was some great discussion about graffiti and general neighborhood safety in the Byrd Park Murder post.

Police Lieutenant El-Amin passed along this encouraging news about cracking down on graffiti in the area…

Criminal Court yesterday had two prosecutions for Graffiti.  Both were found guilty.

Both were prosecuted by C.A. Alexander Taylor who has chosen to handle graffiti cases along with his regular duties.  The cases were

monitored by the Clean City Commission from arrest to prosecution.

Robert Adams was arrested by VCU.  He was found guilty and given 40 hours community service.  His community service has been arranged by Steve Nuckolls, Clean City Commission, to be completed in Fairfax. This was a low sentence due to witnesses not appearing for the court case.

Aaron Lacey was arrested by Ofc. G. Venable with Richmond City Police for damages done to the Starlite Restaurant.

Mr. Lacey was found guilty and received:

  • 12 months jail / 10 months suspended
  • 1000 hours of Community Service
  • $1200 in restitution
  • Complete a Drug and Alcohol Program
  • Photo to be published and posted at Starlite
