The Boston Police Department seems to have a flair for street art themselves as they apparently chose to arrest artist Shepard Fairey on his way to DJ a party celebrating his Friday night February 6, 2009 art show opening at Boston’s Institute of Contemporary Art.
Police allege that he tagged locations in the Massachusetts Avenue and Newbury Street area and the railroad trestle by the BU Bridge, said department spokesman Officer James Kenneally. . . Fairey faces arraignment Monday in either Brighton District Court or Roxbury District Court or both, said Suffolk district attorney’s spokesman Jake Wark.
According to Fairey this is the 15th time he has been arrested.
