A Montreal resident is facing a criminal charge in a graffiti incident on a commercial building in Picton early Tuesday morning.
Approximately 12:15 a.m., an officer with the Prince Edward County OPP was on patrol in Picton when they observed an individual spray-painting graffiti on the rear wall of a business.
The officer immediately intervened and determined that the individual was committing mischief.
The suspect was arrested without incident and transported to the Prince Edward County OPP detachment.
As a result of the investigation, Jean Mykhael Godin-Mathon, 35, has been charged with mischief under $5,000.
The accused was released from custody and is scheduled to appear in Picton Court on November 4.
The Prince Edward County OPP reminds residents and business owners to report suspicious activity and property damage to police. Graffiti and other forms of vandalism can result in significant repair costs and negatively impact local businesses and communities.
