Penis Man, Or At Least One of the Penis Men, Has Been Sentenced and Fined

Note: This is the Weird News Group.



Penis Man graffiti began in November 2019, but it was Shomer's prolific, MLK-weekend spree that got authorities' attention.

"Penis Man" sprang up as an unlikely counterculture hero last year, after a mystery graffiti tagger began spray-painting those two iconic words on prominent local buildings, including Tempe's City Hall.

But now it's time for the Phoenix man behind the virile vandalism to pay the bill.

Dustin Shomer, a 39-year-old student of the Japanese language with some offbeat political ideas, was sentenced this week to three years of supervised probation and ordered to pay $8,000 in restitution for the damage. A deferred, four-month jail sentence will be erased from the sentence if he completes 500 hours of community service, according to the terms of a plea deal he signed in December.

i really think a senseless crime like graffiti (by an adult 39 years old!) should be a capital offense, $8k towards repairing his damage seems like a good start.
