Also arrested was 20-year-old Dennis Pires, who was arrested on October 10 after he was seen painting the words “Mamgid Demon” on the side of the Con Ed building on North 10th Street near Wythe Avenue, according to published reports.
All of the vandals were charged with making graffiti and possession of graffiti instruments.
