Graffiti

On Chene St. off Mack Ave. across from the police station there is a long time vacant supermarket. The building has hosted the illegal work of graffiti vandals for years. The city has covered the paint-based vandalism on at least 3 occasions. A question becomes if you can’t stop graffiti vandalism within 300 feet of an open police station what should average citizens be doing. 

Detroit News Reports that Gabriela June Gibson, 27, of Detroit, was accused in 2016 of vandalizing a building with graffiti, but a lack of evidence caused the case to be dismissed. New charges were filed this month after investigators received photos from a concerned resident, according to the news release.Gibson is accused of participating in the vandalism and driving the getaway car with co-defendants Nathan Koorhan, of Detroit pictured below, and Craig Kowalski, of Ira.  The photos show the license plate of the getaway car as registered to Gibson's mother, according to the news release. Court records show the graffiti incident was Jan. 25, 2016 in the area of the West Village neighborhood on Detroit's east side.
