- On Nov. 21, ASU Police investigated an incident where graffiti markings and slogans were spray painted on south sidewall of the Central Plant South building on the Tempe campus, sometime between Nov. 4 and Nov. 7, according to a police report.
Police spoke with an ASU employee repainting the wall who said various slogans and insignias were spray painted on the wall, police reported. He said he already had taken photographs of the graffiti, which were sent to his supervisor, police reported.
The employee told police the graffiti is a reoccurring incident on the wall as a result of large bushes blocking the view between the railroad tracks and wall of the building, according to the report.
Police have no leads at this time and the estimated damage to the wall is $500, police reported.
