Because If You’re Going To Do Time, Do It For Something Manly, Like Armed Robbery, Contributing To The Delinquency Of A Minor Or Even Wire Fraud

Things I never would wish on anyone include having to explain to your cellmate how you’re doing time because you couldn’t stop painting a four-letter handle around town that sounds suspiciously like the name of a loveable mammal featured in a children’s movie*:

A graffiti tagger who plastered his moniker, “Kiko,” all over Astoria and Long Island City was sentenced yesterday to six months in jail.

Oliver “Kiko” Siandre, 28, of Manhattan, pleaded guilty in October to several counts of criminal mischief.

Queens Supreme Court Justice Barry Kron imposed four to six months behind bars and ordered Siandre to pay $25,000 in restitution to property owners.
