Three Grosse Pointe Wood teenagers are scheduled to face felony charges Tuesday afternoon for tagging two downtown buildings with graffiti, the Wayne County Prosecutor’s Office said in a statement.
Esabella Mary Meteer, 18, Mackenzie Lynn Snitgen, 17, and Mary Elizabeth Harder, 17, top to botto photos, will be arraigned on charges of malicious destruction of property of a building involving $1,000 to $20,000.
It's a felony punishable by up to five years in prison.
Businessman Dan Gilbert did much to publicize this tagging when he sent out an email asking employees and others to find the perpetrators. He called them “degenerates."
Prosecutor Kym Worthy, whose office has been hard hit by budget cuts, has not made graffiti a priority, but when Mayor Mike Duggan served as prosecutor a decade ago, he launched a campaign against taggers and helped put two out-of-town artists in jail for weeks.
