Buket Busted - helL.A.



A prolific graffiti artist known as Buket has been arrested after police watched him tag a Hollywood freeway sign in a YouTube video.

The popular video, with nearly 190,000 page views, shows Cyrus Yazdani precariously climbing underneath a bridge and tagging "Buket" on the sign in broad daylight, while cars speed by on the freeway below.

The Internet sensation was nabbed by LA police when he showed up to meet with his probation officer and received multiple charges of vandalism.

The 24-year-old with an art degree has allegedly already caused US$150,000 ($155,768) worth of damage by tagging freeway overpasses, concrete walls and buses.
