This past weekend Daniel Kimery was caught vandalizing the Christopher Columbus Statue that keeps watch over Columbus Circle in NYC.
Mr. Kimery, a professional homeless drifter was caught perched atop the statue of the famous navigator painting Mr. Columbus's fingernails pink. Why pink? "To represent the blood on the Italian explores hands."
Mr. Kimery who hails from Arizona has been living off the fat of the land here in NYC for the past several years. This is Mr. Kimery's 13th brush with the law since he took up residence in the Big Apple with most of his prior arrests consisting of public drunkenness, public urination, and criminal trespassing charges.
Mr. Kimery was charged with 4th-degree criminal mischief and released back into the wilds.
It is not known if Mr. Kimery is part of Mayor de Blasio's new commission to review the city's statue collection.
