NEW YORK (AP) – A Manhattan man arrested in October on charges that he spray-painted his tag – Kiko – on several properties in Queens has been indicted on multiple counts of criminal mischief and making graffiti.

Oliver Siandre tagged a wall at St. Demetrios Greek American School, the garage door of the Powhatan Regular Democratic Club and a Metropolitan Transportation Authority overpass, Queens District Attorney Richard Brown said Monday.

Siandre, 27, also left his mark on a tree, a pillar and the ground at Athens Square Park, Brown said. The graffiti caused more than $5,750 in damage, he said.

“We cannot allow one individual to mar the beauty of our city and threaten to return us to the days when our transit system and our highways and buildings were covered with graffiti,” Brown said in a news release announcing the indictment.

Siandre is being charged with three counts of second-degree criminal mischief, five counts of third-degree criminal mischief, five counts of fourth-degree criminal mischief, 15 counts of making graffiti and two counts of possession of graffiti instruments. He could face up to seven years in prison if convicted.

Siandre’s lawyer, Paul Siegert, said his client had been released on his own recognizance following his October arrest. He declined to comment on the indictment, saying he had not seen it.

Queens City Councilman Peter Vallone Jr., a Democrat, took a personal interest in the case.

“I want this punk, and I want him bad,” Vallone told the Daily News following Siandre’s October arrest.

On Monday, Vallone said in a statement: “We are sending a message to him and any other miscreant that defaces our neighborhood: We will find you, and you will go to jail.”

He called it an “unprecedented indictment for a graffiti punk.”
