Atlanta police said Friday they have arrested a graffiti artist responsible for dozens of acts of vandalism.
Zachary Kahn, 21, was arrested Thursday by Atlanta Police graffiti abatement officer Brad Etterle, said John Chafee, police spokesman. Kahn uses the name “PTOSIS” on his graffiti, Chafee said.
Etterle has documented more than 100 instances of vandalism in Fulton and DeKalb counties bearing the “PTOSIS” name and its related forms, Chafee said.
Kahn was arrested on four felony and six misdemeanor warrants, Chafee said.
“Unchecked graffiti vandalism can bring down a neighborhood and send a message that its residents simply don’t care,” Chafee said in a statement. “This arrest is another example that the city of Atlanta does care and is committed to improving the quality of life for our residents.”
