Your Love is Criminal

Police were called to the Shoreway Shopping Center in Sheffield Lake, Ohio, for a report of vandalism. The responding officer saw the graffiti, painted in red paint across 30 feet of a wall. It had a heart and said, “Michelle Marry Me I love you 3-17-17 Familia”. Police had no leads until an anonymous caller reported Kyle Stump, 23, had recently proposed to his girlfriend, Michelle. Investigators matched the graffiti to a known handwriting sample from Stump, and he was brought in for questioning. Stump admitted to the defacement and was charged with criminal mischief. “It was worth it,” Stump later told reporters. “She said yes.” (MS/WJW Cleveland) ...The couple is stocking up on pink and blue spray paint for when they have their first child.
