French Man Charged With Spraying Subway Graffiti

by Rocco Parascandola
Staff Writer

A "graffiti tourist" from Paris has been arrested for spray painting his tag
on subway cars in Queens and the Bronx, police said yesterday.

The suspect, Francois Robergel, 25, helped build the case against himself,
police said.

Robergel had in his possession a self-made videotape of himself in action,
police said, and his Metrocard, which police traced, linked him to swipes at
subway stations near where his tag - OCLOCK - was found.

Robergel was charged in Queens yesterday with scrawling OCLOCK-the tag 4
feet high and 30 feet across-on an E train laid up on the express tracks
between the Union Turnpike and 75th Avenue stations on Saturday.

Sources said Robergel, who lives in Paris and first scrawled his tag here on
a previous trip, came to New York about 10 days ago.

On Wednesday, police said, officers from the Vandals Unit followed Robergel
as he made his way from the Bronx to Battery Park on the No. 5 line,
videotaping graffiti along the way in violation of transit regulations
prohibiting filming in the subway.

At Battery Park, police stopped him and seized the videotape and spray paint
cans in his bag. He was charged with possession of graffiti instruments and
resisting arrest.

Police then viewed the videotape, which they said showed Robergel in the
Bronx spray-painting OCLOCK on a No. 5 train near Dyre Avenue Monday. He was
charged in the Bronx with felony criminal mischief.

Police said they also traced Robergel's Metrocard, which showed activity
near the site of the Queens vandalism and to subway stations along the R
line in Sunset Park, near where his tag was discovered on a train, also on
Saturday.

Police plan to present the evidence to the Brooklyn district attorney's
office.

Until recently, police would typically arrest taggers if they caught them
red-handed or if they were picked up near new graffiti and with spray paint
or markers in their possession.

But Queens authorities-and their Brooklyn counterparts, if Robergel is
charged there-plan to prosecute him under a new program in which police
testify that a tag is as unique to a tagger as his signature.
