VANDALISM CHARGES: I just missed EAGR/EAGER in court today for first appearance. But officials say judge is holding prolific tagger on $10K bail. I am waiting on charging docs. King County Prosecuting Attorney’s office bringing FELONY level graffiti/vandalism charges. #Seattle

PROLIFIC TAGGER: As I left court today, I passed through Jackson St. in #Seattle's Chinatown-ID. EAGR/EAGER's handiwork is still everywhere. Who knows, maybe it's just one dude or a team of taggers doing this. Bottom line, someone was allegedly caught in the act by police.

SO BRAZEN: Authorities say EAGR/EAGER was caught in act. This notorious vandal is part of 3A/BTM crew. MASSIVE win for @MayorofSeattle's WAR AGAINST GRAFFITI.
Earlier this summer, look what happened to @SeattlePD mobile precinct in downtown #Seattle.

EAGR/EAGER LOVES CID: This tagger hit up Chinatown-ID/Little Saigon on the regular. Nearby Central District as well. #Seattle @MayorofSeattle

This was back in May when I saw this. 👇🏽

CONSTANTLY CLEANING: @MayorofSeattle and city teams have been consistently going out and painting over tags. But keeping up with these prolific vandals remains a challenge. #Seattle

DECLARING WAR ON GRAFFITI: Last month @MayorofSeattle doubled down on WAR ON GRAFFITI. Then a massive mural along I-5 on @wsdot property went up mocking the Mayor. Unclear who's behind it. But recently, others tagged over it.#Seattle

KEEPING HIS WORD: Back in April, @MayorofSeattle held a press conference, asking for state help as well and vowing to make a difference. EAGR/EAGER'S arrest TODAY is huge first step and sends message GRAFFITI vandalism will no longer be tolerated. #Seattle

REMEMBER THIS? I confronted these graffiti vandals back in April at Cal Anderson Park. Then one of them came after me. #Seattle

INSULTING COMMUNITY: Last month, volunteers were trying to help rejuvenate parts of Chinatown-ID. Then the EAGR/EAGER tags showed up. #Seattle
