A 32-year-old Newark-area man was arrested Aug. 26 in connection with 30 graffiti incidents in locations all along Main Street, said Newark police spokesman Lt. Brian Henry.

Brian J. Durkee, of the 100 block of Nathaniel Drive, was charged with 30 counts of graffiti and 30 counts of possession of a graffiti implement.  

Henry said Durkee had  previously been suspected of the crimes, which date back to January 2009. Pictures of his tag on his MySpace account matched those all along Main Street, providing sufficient proof for a warrant for Durkee's arrest.

After a court appearance, Durkee was released on $3,000 bail.
