WA: amateur photography

From the Yakima Herald-Republic:

Alleged tagger framed by his own camera

An 18-year-old man from Union Gap suspected of tagging nearly a dozen buildings in Yakima, Union Gap and Wapato was booked on felony and misdemeanor charges Monday after sheriff's deputies nabbed him - with his own camera.

...(A)fter turning it on and looking at the photos, it became clear the camera was evidence of a different sort. All the images showed the suspect spray-painting graffiti on an assortment of buildings...

The suspect apparently took great pride in his work... (D)eputies raided the suspect's residence in Union Gap and seized a large amount of graffiti paraphernalia as well as a camcorder depicting the suspect spray-painting his tag on a building...
