Police have found Isaiah Schwebke's moniker in several states.

On Friday February 1, 2013, 33-year-old Isaiah Joel Schwebke was sentenced to one year in jail by a Multnomah County Circuit Court judge for violating the provisions of his graffiti related probation.

Schwebke, a habitual tagger since 1996, caught the attention of Portland Police Bureau Graffiti Investigators when they saw evidence of his personal moniker illegally applied on private properties in the cities of Wilsonville and Tigard, Oregon.

Schwebke recently began targeting locations outside the City of Portland after he was placed on probation in Multnomah County in 2009 for a graffiti related arrest and conviction.

Over the last 15 years, Schwebke has been linked to graffiti incidents in Oregon, California, Washington State, Georgia and Alaska. His sentence includes one year in jail, extended probation, and $2,300 in restitution.
