Spokane's blue heart vandal arrested | Crime

Correction: The correct spelling of the arrested man's last name is Brad Eible. We originally wrote Ruble.

A vandal says he was trying to bring love to the community by painting blue hearts all over Spokane.

With the help of citizen calls, neighborhood resource officer Tim Ottmar was able to arrest 28-year-old Brad Eible on Tuesday just after 3 p.m.

Officer Ottmar located Eible along Adams Street under the railroad bridge in the process of painting another robin egg blue heart on residential property. Eible threw his hands up and said, “You got me.”

During this crime spree, Eible is responsible for 33 different tags of the blue heart. The damage is estimated close to $2,000.
