On Sunday, October 10th, Galesburg Police were dispatched to the area of East Main and Seminary Street for reports of a male suspect spraying white paint on a downtown window and a bench in the area. The suspect was reportedly wearing a multi-colored wig at the time. Upon arrival, officers made contact with the suspect: 63-year old Brian Keith of Bloomington. Keith was sitting on the spray-painted bench and the can of paint was at his feet. Officers also observed paint on the window of 3-54 East Main Street. An intoxicated Keith told officers that Jesus asked him to primer the bench, according to police reports. He was arrested for Criminal Damage to Government Property. This comes after Keith received a pair of citations on Friday morning along with a warning. Keith was seen on security video defecating in front of a downtown business. Keith was still seated in the area when officers arrived on Friday. During that incident, Keith was cited for Public Obscenity and for Open Alcohol in Public.
