Stafford Graffiti Artist Arrested Again While Awaiting Sentencing

A Stafford artist best known for the graffiti he painted all around town three summers ago is facing 15 months in prison for violating the terms of his probation on a host of vandalism counts.

[Old Time Teacher]

If he had 8 probation violations already, why wasn't he already in jail? Judges are as much to blame as he is. Waiting for sentencing is ajoke. Once they're found guilty.put them in the slammer.

I'm glad this 'artist' doesn't live in my neighborhood to help with property values. He sounds like a vandal pure and simple.

[JenR]

lock him up and throw away the spray cans

[If you only knew]

I know this young man personally & my heart goes out to him & his loving family. He NEEDS HELP!!! Those who are so quick to condemn would only wish for help for him if they only knew him. He has actually tried to do much for the community but the media only chooses to print the negative. This is so sad... We love you Olof!

[Tim]

Well, as an artist he's already lost his soul. Begging and lying to be spared punishment. Probably just a goofball.

[Aspelin art fan]

FREE OLAF!!!!! Since when did art hurt anyone?!? This is rediculous!!!!! Go arrest a rapist or a killer, not an artist!

[Wences]

With a moniker like "Olof" this stooge was tagged a loser from the word go. Bring your crude vandalism to my neighborhood, Loffy, and the cops will be the least of your worries, I promise you. If his family really loved him he wouldn't be named OLOF. Who's "we" anyway? You got a mouse in your pocket??

Send the fool to the nuthouse. As usual, Judge Sullivan knows what to do. He will not let the community suffer from criminals. The defense attorney, sure could spin a tale. He must be in politics.

Goodbye criminal. Say hi to Bubba.

He should keep his "art?" off the property of others. If I wanted to spray paint my version of "art" on his parents house, would that be okay? Or how about I spray your house. Do I have permission to do that since it is "art" and would not be hurting anyone?

Lock the vandal up for the next 15 months and our town will be better and cleaner.

Give me a couple cans of spray paint, and sentence him to 39 months at the Valley Hospital, Middletown, CT. they have very nice accommodations up there. He can start painting on the outer walls immediately on arrival. I really don't see what the problem is.

[Memo to Olof]

Paint a bull's eye on your butt as it will prove helpful in the next 15 months.

And what's your name and address?

The State can put an extra tax on spray paint cans ,to pay the clean-up costs.

[Grafiti The Courant]

The first annual awards, the OLAF'S, will be presented.

STOP CALLING HIM AN ARTIST. He is not an artist. He is a punk vandal. He has done many thousands of dollars in property damage. He should have to pay for all of the clean up and do a couple of years in jail.

Why should people who have legit reasons for buying spray paint have to pay for the damage done by these dorks. Make them pay for it out of their own pockets or when they catch these vandals make them work on a grafitti abatement crew 40 hours a week for 6 months.

Your bleeding heart needs help.

While he was up there on the roof of the church, he should have just jumped.
