The night after the inital vandalism, the guy came back to do more damage and was caught by security. The dude they arrested turned out to be black, drunk and rambling about how he wanted to talk to Tupac. Anyway, the dude, 43-year-old Kenneth Anthony Wilson, was charged Thursday (November 1) with second-degree criminal damage to property, a felony. He is currently being held at the DeKalb County jail under a $1,500 bond.
