Barrel Monster Bust

Cops: Man created public art with items swiped from construction site

A 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.
