Molino Resident Charged With Painting Graffiti On Restaurant

September 9, 2011

A Molino man was arrested after police say they caught him painting graffiti outside a Pensacola restaurant.

Andrew Plenkers, 19, of Richardson Road was charged with criminal mischief after Pensacola Police Department Sgt. Steve Rankin observed him walking through a parking lot on North Davis Highway to the 500 block of East Cervantes Street.

During a search of the suspect, Rankin found a large blue marker in his right front pants pocket. Officers said they also found several cans of spray paint inside Plenkers’ car.

A freshly painted design that contained the words “BEZ” (for “be easy”, according to police) was found on the east wall of the Coffee Cup restaurant at 520 East Cervantes.

Sgt. Chuck Mallett, who is focusing investigations on graffiti in the downtown area, said Plenkers is a suspect in other graffiti cases.

Plenkers was released from the Escambia County Jail on $250 bond.

    Lets send him over seas with the miltary and see how tough he really is.He has way to much time on his hands.Gone are the days when judges used to sentence trouble makers to the military to make real men out of them.for the most part it worked.Then the ACLU stuck their noses in and the rest is history.

    Shows how immature he is. Too bad kids don’t grow up like they used to. It also shows total disrespect for everyone else in the community. Most children (and he has proven himself to still be a child) think the whole world revolves around THEM. How selfish and immature can you get.

    Graffiti art was only popular between 2000-2007-ish, with Shepard Fairy, Banksy, etc. get with the times man. Now popular graffiti artists paint on canvas and sell their work for $30,000+ a pop in galleries.

    So stop painting on buildings downtown and get some plywood, canvas, or something and hit the scene on gallery nights.
