PORTLAND, Ore. (KATU) — Police arrested a prolific Portland graffiti vandal on Tuesday, the Portland Police Bureau (PPB) says.
PPB says they have been investigating Rodriguez-Lee for months.
In Oct. 2023 North Precinct officers arrested him for spray painting a large OMEGA tag in the 1400 block of North Schmeer Road. When officers arrested him they discovered he had a firearm in his possession. In Nov. 2023, Rodriguez-Lee pleaded guilty to the gun charge and received one year of probation.
