Michael Todorovich, a student at the Rhode Island School of Design, and Nicholas Bach, a Community College of Rhode Island student, face malicious mischief charges after a witness reported seeing two men spraying the Hemenway building and the Crawford Street Bridge. The call came into Providence police on Saturday from a witness. When police arrived, the two had left. The police searched the area and found two men who fit the description given by the witness. According to a statement, the police found two black markers, six spray caps, and a spray can on Todorovich and Bach. Two juveniles accused of writing on school property were also turned over to the Providence police by security officials at RISD. The two face malicious injury to property charges, and were referred to Family Court.

We are all sick of looking at their trash every day, and it makes the whole state look bad. Make the punishment fit the crime | March 5, 2008 4:03 PM link Why not have everyone who receives public assistance do jobs like cleaning up the trash and graffiti? It would clean up the state and help relieve the abuse those on welfare who get accused of laying around and avoiding work. If you don't work, you don't qualify for assistance.

The graffiti is out of control in this city; hopefully this students will be used to set an example that this won't be tolerated.
