THEY'RE AT IT AGAIN: Notorious graffiti taggers EAGR/EAGER+SATN/SATAN were arrested in 2022, charged with felony level vandalism since their work was so prolific. Now they're out and doing it again. Judge's ruling sends message it's ok to trash the city.

SATN/SATAN IN COURT 2022: Jose G. Betancourth pleaded not guilty to FELONY malicious mischief charge for alleged tagging rampage in #Seattle. Casey Cain aka EAGR/EAGER was facing similar charge. #Seattle

TATTED UP: Casey Cain(EAGR/EAGER) and Jose G. Betancourth(SATN/SATAN) being booked in 2022. Arguably two of the most significant grafitti king pins in the region. Now they've been basically given a green light to go wild! #Seattle

ON THE RUN: Back in 2022, authorities say notorious graffiti tagger Casey Cain skipped his court date. Cain was facing felony charge for malicious mischief. Now it doesn't matter. #Seattle

BUSTED: Arrests sent shockwaves throughout #Seattle's graffiti community. Cain+Betancourth were seen as "untouchable" since work was so prolific. But they also have enemies. The word "TOY" is tagged over some of EAGR/EAGER's work. Sign of DISRESPECT.
