A city resident was caught this week painting the graffiti tag "LAST" on the Interstate 95 overpass above East Franklin Street in Shockoe Bottom, Richmond police said.

Michael E. Clark, 22, was charged with property destruction. Police said they spotted him at 1:45 a.m. Tuesday.

Police said they found evidence of two other tags at Clark's residence and charged him with two additional counts of property destruction.

Clark, of the 3000 block of Park Avenue, could not be located yesterday for comment. Police are asking anyone who finds other LAST monikers around the city to call (804) 646-5100.

"We are asking for the community's help in reporting graffiti tags," said 3rd Precinct Detective W. Hawkins Kuper.

Police said if other graffiti tags are seen, residents should call 311, Richmond's Customer Care Center. In partnership with the city's Department of Public Works, police intend to document and remove graffiti tags from the city.
