Huppenthal's Trouble with Signs

Seeing Red AZ has the early scoop, but it seems the man who would be Superintendent of Public Instruction got a little overzealous wanting to hang up his TWENTY-FOUR-foot banner at the recent AZ GOP meeting this past weekend.
He gets an F- for thinking that it was acceptable to personally drill numerous holes in the wall of the auditorium at Saguaro High School where the GOP statutory meeting was held this past Saturday. School administrators were not amused and are billing the state party for the necessary repairs.
Isn't vandalism a crime in Arizona? Ah yes... seems ARS 13-1602 says:

13-1602. Criminal damage; classification

A. A person commits criminal damage by recklessly:

1. Defacing or damaging property of another person; or

2. Tampering with property of another person so as substantially to impair its function or value; or

3. Tampering with or damaging the property of a utility.

4. Parking any vehicle in such a manner as to deprive livestock of access to the only reasonably available water.

5. Drawing or inscribing a message, slogan, sign or symbol that is made on any public or private building, structure or surface, except the ground, and that is made without permission of the owner.
