DAYTON, Ohio — A graffiti artist known as “Supa” has been arrested in Dayton, accused of defacing dozens of public properties across Ohio. Roman Baumer, the artist behind the alias, was taken into custody last week after police obtained video footage showing him “tagging” a building on North Main Street.
Maj. Brian Johns of the Dayton Police Department said, “He’s tagged areas near Columbus, there was an area on the overpass on I-70 near I-75 where it was tagged, there are just hundreds of tags in the city of Dayton and beyond from Supa.”
The video evidence reportedly shows Baumer checking the area for bystanders before spray-painting the side of the building and leaving the scene. Authorities claim Baumer has defaced hundreds of properties throughout the city.
Police are working with affected businesses and areas to have Baumer repaint over his graffiti as a form of community service punishment.
