The Los Angeles Times is reporting that MOCA contributor and graffiti artist REVOK was arrested on Thursday while attempting to board a flight out of LAX to Ireland, but it wasn’t for any new acts of vandalism, he had an outstanding warrant. His bail was set at a whopping $320,000 which is $300k more than his last bullshit arrest in ’09 and as LA Taco notes, higher than both a child molester and corrupt public official’s combined. UPDATE: He was sentenced to 180 days.

Not complying with court mandates is a good way to ensure a higher bail when you meet a judge again for the same case. I wonder if Roger or that MOCA dude will step in and demonstrate they love the artists/art more than they love the money they make off them/it.
Not to change the subject, but I noticed that you do not have the Growmap Anti Spambot Plugin for WordPress. I would highly recommend installing that to stop bots from posting bogus comments on here. Just my two cents.
