One of Sussex's most prolific graffiti taggers has been spared a prison sentence after admitting more than 60 criminal damage offences.
Jack Deeks, 21, of Hampden Road, Brighton, received a two-month suspended prison sentence, was ordered to complete 250 hours unpaid work and to pay £2,598 costs when he appeared at Brighton Magistrates' Court.
Unemployed Deeks admitted seven counts of criminal damage and one of resisting arrest as he ran from police when he was initially detained.
He also admitted a further 55 offences of criminal damage which were taken into consideration.
The court heard how Deeks, whose tag is NOSH and who is a member of a graffiti crew called DWP - Delinquents with Paint - was arrested by police in the early hours of November 2 last year.
The police contacted Brighton and Hove City Council's graffiti officer who keeps a detailed database of graffiti in the city. She had photographic evidence of more than 60 of Deeks' tags.
More than £3,000 worth of damage has been caused on public and private property including walls, phone boxes and even transit vans by the graffiti.
After the hearing, PC Rebecca Temple said: "I hope the result sends out a strong message to other taggers in the city.
"It appears Deeks simply became caught up in the culture of being a graffiti artist. Unfortunately he did not think through the consequences of his tagging walls and buildings across the city or the cost implications of repairing the damage."
Environment councillor Geoffrey Theobald added: "This is a good example of how, by working with the police, we can tackle environmental crime, track down offenders and bring those responsible for spoiling our city before the courts." The council has recently faced a £14,000 bill to clean up Tarner Park, which was opened up for graffiti artists but surroundings were spray painted.
What do you think should be done to deter graffiti? Tell us below.

as a mother, and as a sister to men who have had their lives ruined by graffiti, i think its a disgrace this man hasnt gone to jail with the murderers, rapists and knife-wielding maniacs. I have seen the decline of this great town in recent years and most of it is down to graffiti. Who cares about overcrowded prison population? i say we lock up all these young \"talented\" men who paint on walls ASAP. and i hope they rot in hell.

Do you really mean to say that 'hip hop' has had a greater impact than any other popular culture?
If it includes the vandalism we know as grafitti then it's a negative impact - you can hardly say it's improved all our lives, can you?

I, like Jack Deeks, fell into the deadly game of graffiti at a young age. At first is was just a couple of scribbles on a friend's wall. This soon degenerated into "tags" on people's shops and transport. I even scratched shop windows for which I am deeply ashamed. The problem got so bad that I started to hold disrespectful thoughts towards authority figures and I even questioned the Argus's intelligent and unbiased journalism.
Luckily, I was arrested by our fine police force before it was too late. The court were not leniant with me- why should they have been? I recklessly destroyed other people's property. After my arrest and subsequent trial, I suddenly realised overnight that this "hobby" is a blight on our society. Google "the broken window theory" - it changed my life. I hope Jack Deeks learns the error of his ways. It's time this bozo grew up (as well as stop biting my ****). Next time use paper and pens, not ignorance and hate.

Cmon Jack.. You admitted last night that you only did it to look "cool"
I have since learnt the error of my ways. Hopefully, you will realise the hurt and pain you have caused countless families. And the fact that you poorly used that throw-up you bought off me for a fiver says something about your "skill".
NOSH_DWP is a local legend you should be taking pictures of thaaaaat ish if your lucky enough to have it your wall...

Some graffiti looks fantastic, like the stuff on the wall of the empty site at Black Rock - really inventive, changed all the time, not on someone's own property.
But tagging - what's artistic or meaningful about that? "I was here and I did this when it was dark and no-one was looking". Grow up for f's sake.

Not siding with anybody, but writing the word 'NOSH' on walls 'aint art. There's no intelligence or theory behind it, no aesthetic in it really, is there? Graffiti is all well and good, it can brighton (get it?) up a city, but tagging a name on a wall is nothing but vandalism. Sorry.

This soon degenerated into "tags" on people's shops and transport. I even scratched shop windows for which I am deeply ashamed. The problem got so bad that I started to hold disrespectful thoughts towards authority figures and I even questioned the Argus's intelligent and unbiased journalism. Luckily, I was arrested by our fine police force before it was too late. The court were not leniant with me- why should they have been? I recklessly destroyed other people's property. After my arrest and subsequent trial, I suddenly realised overnight that this "hobby" is a blight on our society. Google "the broken window theory" - it changed my life. I hope Jack Deeks learns the error of his ways. It's time this bozo grew up (as well as stop biting my ****). Next time use paper and pens, not ignorance and hate.dunno who that mug is trying to be me! i did get caught and i did stop... but i miss it and dont regret anything i did other than the shop windows anyway. big up NOSH_DWP
