... Get there another! Phillip Perez might not have won the Artadia award this year, but he did just collect $20,000 from the City of Houston to settle a wrongful arrest lawsuit stemming from an unpleasant incident at the Westheimer Block Party.
the beginning of the mess
The worst part for the city is that Perez aka ARTICLE had been working with their Graffiti Task force- according to a Chron article- "to paint anti-smoking murals in the city and to educate law enforcement about graffiti."
They basically busted their own informant and the ACLU bit them in the ass.
"let me have proof of your existence"
"Mr. Perez is very happy," said Randall Kallinen, his attorney. "This shows that people will not stand for being illegally arrested. Mr. Perez stood up for his rights."
