“Los Angeles County sheriff's deputies have arrested a man they say is the oldest tagger they've ever captured,” reports CBS. “74-year-old John Scott was apprehended for putting up stickers.

“Lt. Eric Ruble says 74-year-old John Scott was arrested Friday when deputies spotted him putting stickers on a stairwell at the downtown 7th and Metro Center subway station in Los Angeles.

“Ruble says the oldest suspect they'd previously arrested for tagging was 36.

“Ruble says Scott was putting up orange and black stickers that say, ‘Who Is John Scott?’ He allegedly has placed them on buses in Baldwin Hills and areas on the Westside of the city.

“Scott runs a Web site through which baseball caps and other items displaying his message are for sale. Deputies did not immediately know if he'd retained an attorney.”

Apparently, Scott was held in custody on $20,000 bail. For an elderly man putting up stickers!?!

Good to know law enforcment and tax payer money is all going to important causes.
