Last summer the Bonnie and Clyde of the graffiti world, Danielle Bremner (tags: Utah, Dani, Erin) and her boyfriend Jim Clay Harper (tag: Ether) were both taken down by the man after causing $100,000 in damages to city transit facilities. The Daily News now reports that the 27-year-old FIT student and Queens resident, Bremner, turned herself in Wednesday. Following a tagging trip abroad with her boyfriend last summer, the police found 450 cans of spray paint and, amongst other things, a photograph of her tagging a train. She faces up to 7 years behind bars if convicted of her "criminal mischief, making graffiti and possessing graffiti tools" charges. And that's just for tagging trains in Queens, she faces similar charges in Manhattan, Brooklyn, the Bronx, Boston and France. DA Richard Brown released a statement saying, "According to the charges, the defendant is reportedly well known in the international graffiti community—and to New Yorkers who have had to put up with her ego-driven vandalism of public property, which has cost taxpayers thousands of dollars to clean up."
