Molino Resident Faces More Charges For Painting Graffiti
September 23, 2011
More charges have been filed against a Molino teen for allegedly painting graffiti on several Pensacola businesses.
Andrew Thomas Plenkers, 19, of Richardson Road was arrested Thursday morning on additional criminal mischief charges, according to Pensacola Police Department Sgt. Chuck Mallett, who is focusing investigations on graffiti in the downtown area.
“We are taking a more proactive look at graffiti in the downtown area as evidenced by this suspect’s recent arrests and others that are pending,” said Pensacola Police Chief Chip W. Simmons. “Those who are inclined to commit this crime need to remember they’re damaging someone’s property.”
Plenkers is suspected of spray painting the word “BEZ” (for be easy) as found September 6 on the following businesses:
- Larry M. Jacobs & Associates, 328 E. Gadsden Street
- Warner Printing, 419 E. Gadsden Street
- A vacant building at 501 E. Cervantes Street
Plenkers was first arrested September 3 and charged with criminal mischief after Sgt. Steve Rankin saw him walking through a parking lot in the 800 block of North Davis Highway.
Rankin said he watched the suspect for a little while before approaching him and making contact with him in 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 also found several cans of spray paint inside Plenkers’ car.
A freshly painted design that contained the words “BEZ” was found on the east wall of the Coffee Cup restaurant, 520 E. Cervantes St. Mallett said Plenkers is a suspect in additional graffiti cases he is investigating.

I wonder what this young mans employer thinks of all this? I hope Mr Plenkers does not loose his job.
He should have to be the one to actually clean it off or repaint the whole thing, which ever one would take longer. And plenty of other community service hours doing some kind of clean up in public, along with the regular probation provisions.
catch ‘em all. convince them to repent of evil actions, whether it’s murder, theft or destruction of the property of others..
This guy is nickel and dime. Let’s catch the dope dealers, thugs, mudrerers and thieves. I don’t think anyones re-election hopes will hang on this one.
Not surprised…
