The 'G' stands for guilty: Graffiti vandal gets 90 days in jail

PITTSFIELD — A man's "very stupid act" of spray-painting property with the letter "G" earlier this year landed him 90 days in jail.

George O'Neil, 39, of Pittsfield, pleaded guilty before Judge William Rota in Central Berkshire District Court on Wednesday to nine counts of vandalism in connection with the spree.

Assistant Berkshire District Attorney Kyle Christiansen said the discrepancy between the amount of damage and the number of charges was because there were only nine formal reports of damage made to authorities. About 100 instances of the letter "G" have been documented.

Christiansen recommended a split sentence of six months in jail, 60 days of which would be served directly with the balance suspended for one year, during which time O'Neil would be required to perform 100 hours of community service and pay approximately $1,500 in restitution to cover the costs of clean-up efforts.

got less time in jail than that.

He was sentenced to 90 days and only did half that with "good time" and courses to take time off his sentence.

He did get one of the longest probations in MA history--but still.

That said, this guy is either immature as hell or has other issues.
