Man Arrested for Graffiti

On April 26th the Key West Police Department arrested 42-year-old Benjamin Baldwin on felony criminal mischief charges.

Officers from Alpha Night Patrol assisted the Criminal Investigations Unit in identifying 17 vandalized locations. Each of which contained two individual but very unique designs.

Over the course of the investigation detectives were able to identify Baldwin as the person responsible for tagging the name “EMMA” on numerous Waste Management dumpsters throughout the City of Key West.

The cleaning process associated with graffiti removal is costly and a major disruption to an essential public service.

Baldwin was transported to the Monroe County Detention Center and is currently being held on a $2,500 bond.
