Paint misbehavin’: Graffiti vandal slapped

A baby-faced art student who traveled from Chicago to the Big Apple to scrawl his tag and a few pointed statements on subway cars will serve 25 days of community service.

Zebadiah Arrington, 20, pleaded guilty in March to plastering “ZEB,” “BOMB THE SYSTEM,” “NOW OR NEVER” and other slogans on several A-, F- and 7-line trains in Brooklyn, Queens and Manhattan.

The graffiti spree ran from 2007 until he was arrested in March 2010. Arrington vandalized a more than 260-mile swath from Massachusetts to Philadelphia, where he also has open cases.

He was released on a conditional discharge yesterday and ordered to pay $6,910 in damages to the MTA in addition to the community service.
