Police have cuffed a 56-year-old man who allegedly tagged more than 20 cars with “AOC” and “BLM” graffiti in Jackson Heights two nights in a row.
Officers arrested Heriberto Torres, of 95th Street, for allegedly spray-painting 26 cars parked along 77th Street with the acronyms for U.S. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and the Black Lives Matter movement on Tuesday and early Wednesday morning.
Residents along the block awoke each morning to find their cars had been vandalized.
Torres allegedly tagged 13 privately-owned vehicles on 77th Street, a residential street between Northern Boulevard and 31st Avenue, each night, police said.
He is charged with 22 counts of making graffiti, 22 counts of criminal mischief, 22 counts of possession of graffiti instruments and one petit larceny.

56 year olds are not Boomers
@Me- He’s a boomer.
America’s baby boomers are the large generation born from 1946 to 1964.
They’ll pay for the bail.
Oh, wait, they got rid of bail.
Anon- You’re misinformed and misinforming others. Bail is still used in the NY courts.
You don’t get bail for those charges anymore.
The crimes he’s charged with were not affected at all ? WOW Trump lovers are out of the loop
There was never any bail to begin with lol.
You accidentally proved that bail reform didn’t affect this crime at all, thanks!
But the millennials are to blame!
Ok Boomer.
hopefully, the city will prosecute Heriberto to the fullest extent. hopefully every single car owner sues him personally and AOC and BLM for endorsing this criminal’s actions, and garnishes his welfare check until everything is paid off. break the law, pay the price.
AOC supporter… Go figure. You think people flee to communist countries? Lol no they all escape to the USA to be free. Vote red like your life depends on it because it may come to that.
Connie-People flee communist countries because of totalitarian rulers who deny people basic human rights (like putting children in cages and terminating 25 million peoples healthcare during a pandemic) and jail political opponents( remember the lock her up chants directed at Hilary & the Governor of Michigan). Vote Blue for Democracy.
He should of used bumper stickers like everyone else does.
I always see AOC and BLM written on the sidewalk with chalk. Both are popular in north western queens.
Betcha he’s a Trump voter
Are you insane ? He’s the opposite
So yeah, he’s probably a Trump lover. Learn about it before you embarrass yourself again.
They LOVE sending up false flags.
The TDS is strong in this one!
Nah. Just triggering the ignorant, racist, Russia-loving Trump voters. Looks like I won, because you all fell for it.
He was arrested for exercising his ‘first amendment rights’??? Maddon! Al Sharpton is going to be all over this!!!
I disagree with his actions, obviously and am growing increasingly tired of the BLM stuff that is just spewed and not being legit provoked. Ps dies he know that AOC is about her and no one else? Not even BLM???
Do you mean a narcissist like Donald Trump?
Stop obsessing over him. That’s how those types of people get power. You just fell into his trap.
