Last week a felony arrest warrant for street artist Shepard Fairey was filed in Detroit, accusing him of $9,000 in property damage and two counts of malicious destruction of property related to unsanctioned works he created when he visited the city in May, reports Hyperallergic. Fairey was there to create an 18-story mural and open an exhibition of his work at the Library Street Collective. He could face more than $10,000 in fines and up to five years in jail, according to the Detroit Free Press.

Fairey reportedly told the Independent that he found the warrant "hilarious." Adding, “Sometimes when I’ve been arrested I’ve pretended not to be me, but a disciple of me, as it were. This is because at some point I realized that some people in the police force, if they realize you’re a bigger fish, then they want a bigger notch on their belt.”
