Athens police arrested two men yesterday morning and charged them with criminal mischief for painting graffiti on three storage buildings.

Police Captain Marty Bruce saie 23-year-old Luis Cuarado and 26-year-old Humberto Torres were each charged with three counts of third-degree criminal mischief and one count of public intoxication.

Bruce said Torres was also charged with carrying a concealed weapon after police found him carrying a pair of nunchuks.

Bruce said an officer saw the men drop some objects by a utility pole and noticed that Cuarado had red paint on his hand. The officer found two cans of red spray paint at the utility pole.
