Earlier this month a #GeorgeFloyd statue placed in Union Square in New York City was defaced. At the time, an unknown suspect was captured on surveillance footage throwing gray paint on the face of the artwork. Well, it looks like NYPD finally caught up with the perp. According to @abc7ny, #MicahBeals was arrested on Monday in connection to the crime.

The 37-year-old was taken into custody with a single charge of criminal mischief. As previously seen, Micah allegedly lingered near the artwork before riding by it and throwing the paint. Members of #ConfrontArt, who installed the temporary exhibition, cleaned up the statue within the same day. The statues of #JohnLewis and #BreonnaTaylor were not vandalized.

The exhibition called “See In Justice” is only scheduled to be displayed until October 30. Afterwards, the organization plans to tour it across U.S. cities. This is a developing story.
