A.J. walks around the corner to find a whole wall of freshly painted graffiti and spray paint cans on the ground. He picks one up to put it in the trash just as the patrolman is walking around the corner to give A.J. an ordinance violation ticket. A.J. is arrested for destruction of property and a municipal ordinance violation. He pleads with the patrolman and tries to tell him that he was just attempting to clean up the neighborhood. A.J. is ultimately sentenced
to the fine of $500 for the dog waste and community service hours until he removes all of the graffiti. A.J. is suing the rookie patrolman for defamation of character and racial profiling.
