A Naples woman was literally painting the town park Friday just before getting arrested, police said.

An 18-year-old woman painted her face black and white, dunked her hands in blue paint and then began painting a city park, Naples police reported.

A witness told police he saw a young blonde woman, later identified as Elizabeth Ann Peele, 18, of the 1000 block of 10th Street North, painting several benches, poles and tables of Fleischmann Park a light blue color, according to reports. She had black and white face paint on and light blue paint on the palm of her hands, he told police.

The park manager, a second witness, also told police he saw Peele in the large gazebo using a paint brush to paint her skin shortly after 6 p.m. Friday.

She left painted hand prints on three poles in the gazebo and white paint on three picnic tables, according to reports. Red paint on the tables at the park, located at 1300 Fleischmann Blvd., had been “picked off,” according to reports.

Property damage was estimated to be $1,000.

Peele was arrested and charged with felony criminal mischief.

That's were she messed up. When you go out to paint the town, you're suppose to paint it RED!

All this flooze needs is a good PR manager.

Sounds like she needs some psychotropic medication.

Three guesses who she voted for in the last election.

It might have been a good idea to check she was old enough to vote in the last election before you pinged all those people.

In November, 2008 she was still 16.

The last election was yesterday.

A fella could have quite the party with her and Jose Cuervo ...

Oooh, I love “The Carol of the Bells!”

[TheOldLady]

You mean all my guesses were wrong? Dang.

[BenLurkin]

I don’t. It always makes me start clapping too soon.

[doorgunner69]

$1,000 damage is now a FELONY? Good grief, is there no lower bound to what can make you a felon?

Almost like someone wants lots of felony convictions, for whatever meaningless crime.....

[Defiant]

She is not guilty, but she better not try this again in 10 years.

[earlJam]

Did she get arrested by the Naples police or the Nipples police?

[Slings and Arrows]

If I’d known about the latter department I’d’ve been a cop!
