Cops: Man created public art with items swiped from construction siteA North Carolina man is facing criminal charges for creating an amusing piece of public art from construction barrels. Joseph Carnevale, 21, was nabbed Wednesday after a Raleigh Police Department investigation determined that he was responsible for the work (seen above) constructed May 31 on a roadway adjacent to North Carolina State University.
Carnevale was charged with misdemeanor larceny for allegedly building his orange monster from materials pilfered from a construction site.
According to an arrest warrant, Carnevale "destroyed three road blocking barrels by cutting and screwing them together to form a statue."
Police estimated that Carnevale's artwork caused $360 in damages to Hamlett Associates, the North Carolina construction company that owned the barrels. Carnevale is scheduled for a July 21 court appearance in Wake County.
