Homeless California woman jailed for anti-Trump graffiti

LOS ANGELES:-  A homeless California woman was sentenced to six months in jail after admitting to tagging government buildings in downtown Los Angeles with expletive-filled graffiti against President-elect Donald Trump. Victoria Bay, 37, was detained on November 22, two days after she spray-painted the walls of the Hall of Justice, the Hall of Records, a criminal justice center and a nearby business with messages insulting Trump.

She was arrested by patrol officers who had seen surveillance video and recognized her distinctive electric-blue hair. Authorities said she had caused more than $10,000 in damage.-AFP
