US EditionMan Arrested After Trying to Repaint Rainbow Crosswalk, Police Say
Joseph Whiteside, 25, was charged with misdemeanor graffiti after attempting to restore rainbow crosswalks removed due to a Texas Department of Transportation mandate, city officials said.
- Joseph Whiteside, 25, was arrested early Tuesday for repainting a rainbow crosswalk in the Oak Lawn neighborhood near Cedar Springs Road and Knight Street, less than 24 hours after city crews began removing the displays.
- Governor Greg Abbott threatened to withhold state funding from cities that failed to comply with the Texas Department of Transportation mandate labeling the decorative crosswalks as "political messaging."
- Whiteside faced misdemeanor graffiti charges and two outstanding felony warrants from Farmers Branch. The 25-year-old told reporters he repainted the crosswalk because it represented neighborhood identity.
- City crews are removing 30 decorative crosswalks, including those at Fair Park, by state order. Valerie Jackson, chair of the North Texas LGBTQ Chamber of Commerce Foundation, expressed grief over the $100,000+ cost of the original installations.
- The Office of Arts and Culture scheduled three community engagement sessions in April to discuss alternative public art programs, as officials aim to complete the state-mandated removal by April 28.
