FORT LAUDERDALE, FLA. (WSVN) - A South Florida man was arrested after, police said, they caught him using spray paint to cover up pro-Palestinian graffiti at a South Florida highway.
Thirty-year-old Yoni Maimon was charged with two counts of criminal mischief.
“The boss called me around 8 a.m. and told me about some ‘Free Palestine,’ and if I can cover,” said Maimon. “I drive through I-95 next to exit 27 and I saw under the bridge the ‘Free Palestine,’ ‘Free Gaza,’ and then I went to Home Depot, bought the spray, and I just covered everything.”
According to the arrest report, on Jan. 2, Florida Highway Patrol Troopers were dispatched to the scene on Interstate-95, near Marina Mile Boulevard, after receiving reports of “possible vandalism.”
Once at the scene, troopers found Maimon holding a spray paint can. A trooper then pulled out a taser and ordered Maimon to put the can down.
According to Maimon, he told troopers that he is from Israel and was trying to cover up the pro-Palestinian messages.
“I have family in Israel. I don’t like to see it,” he said. “It is a terrorist organization. They kidnap and kill people every day.”
Maimon painted over the words with gray spray paint, which he thought was the same color as the wall.
After FHP arrived, he was then cuffed, book and taken to the Broward County jail were he spent nine hours.
“They put the handcuff on my leg and on my hand,” Maimon said. “Then they asked me questions and I tell them I just covered the ‘Free Palestine,’ like nothing wrong, just ‘Free the Palestine,’ and they took me to the jail.”
Maimon’s boss, Eran Hazan, said that the troopers actions towards his employee were “very unfair” and humiliating.

But the Pro-Hamas vandals who spray painted the original graffiti didn’t get anything.
“But the Pro-Hamas vandals who spray painted the original graffiti didn’t get anything.”
That’s Anarcho-Tyranny.
Yup.
The roving bands of cultural enrichment in 2020 did 2 billion or more in damage, no jail time.
January 6, walk between velvet ropes, “OMG, it’s worse than 9/11!!!!!1!”
We currently are living under a tyranny with adverse one sided “justice”.
Hmmm, I wonder if they got the one who did the graffiti in the first place?
Of course not. It’s only *free speech* when the left does it.
Name the pigs who arrested him.
Guy isn’t a vandal, he is an antivandal. Give him a medal.
For Canada, the contrast is between these pro-Hamas protests, and the State of Emergency invoked against the truckers.
Yeah, “we HAVE to let them prooooootest! It’s their riiiiight?” - in relation to the Pro-Hamas thugs.
“OMG it’s a violent REBELLION and must be stopped at all costs!” - in relation to the truck protests.
The current administration in the WH is pro-terrorist so this is how it’s gonna go.
This took place in DeSantis’ Florida - being that he is running for President of the United States of America, he should have ALREADY responded to this matter.
Florida Highway patrol? What does DeSantis have to say about this?
Who are the police protecting? He should be sending them a bill.

99.9% of the time, THAT isn't going to happen in today's America. The "employee" would be fired out of hand. No questions asked.
Refreshing.
Should have used a power washer. How do u charge for that?
