"Zoner the Tagger" busted again for tagging

I for one, will never forget the teenage tagger known as "Zoner" who was made famous by this photo in the Los Angeles Times and Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa's offer of mentoring.

One can speculate on the outcome if "Zoner" had taken up Mayor Villaraigosa' on his mentoring sessions.

Ahhhs would greet the completed works of urban art, trolling for women would have replace scawling name in search of attention and a job in the Mayor's "Summer Night Lights" could of been there for the asking.

But as we say in CD-14, you can get the kid out of the barrio, but you can't get the barrio out of the kid, see one Tony Villar.

And that applies to "Zoner" who was caught again practicing "urban art" in the wrong place.

From the Los Angeles Times,

A tagger whom the Los Angeles mayor once offered to mentor after he was photographed scrawling graffiti on a bus was arrested again today for allegedly tagging a tunnel and another bus.

The 17-year-old boy known as Zoner was arrested at about 1:20 p.m. when he surrendered to sheriff's detectives who earlier in the day served a search warrant at his home. The teenager was booked on suspicion of felony vandalism. Sheriff’s investigators claim he scrawled his street name on an MTA bus and other property.

“He started tagging again. Sadly, he is back at the buses again." said Lt. Erik Ruble. "This time it was the Red Line and a bus. You think he would learn after the first time.”

Maybe this time the Mayor can offer "Zoner" an Cultural Affairs grant.
