Posted on Author admin Comments Off on Former Parks And Recreation Actor Arrested For Allegedly Vandalizing NYC George Floyd Statue

Leslie Knope definitely wouldn’t approve of this behavior.

Actor Micah Beals was arrested earlier this week and charged with second-degree criminal mischief for allegedly vandalizing a statue of George Floyd in New York City, according to the official Twitter of the NYPD’s Hate Crimes division. The 37-year-old is an actor who performed under the name “ Micah Femia ” and appeared in episodes associated with Parks and Recreation and CSI: NY .

The vandalism was caught on camera, with footage shared earlier in the month of a man skateboarding by the statue and splashing it with gray paint (above). At the time, Governor Kathy Hochul tweeted:

“ This act of cowardice and hate is reprehensible. I have directed @nyspolice Hate Crimes Task Force to provide any assistance within the investigation to find the perpetrator and hold them accountable. ”

People reported that Beals had a prior criminal record: he was “ arrested for a curfew violation in Washington, D. C., following the Jan. 6 Capitol riots. ” So… there may be a particular pattern of behavior here, in addition to it doesn’ t look great.

Following Beals’ arrest, Confront Art , the organization responsible for installing the statue, released a statement on their Instagram (below), saying the vandalism was not “ just an act of vandalism, but a good act of hate. ”

What an awful thing to do. We hope Beals faces appropriate justice.
