SAGINAW, MI — Three people were arrested following a fight over a mural project at a Saginaw skate park. Among them is the project’s lead artist, who went to the park with other organizers to remove graffiti that marred the project before it was even completed.
The incident occurred Monday, Sept. 15, at the skate park located within Frank N. Andersen Celebration Park on Fordney Street. The park has been closed since Sept. 11 for the Last-ish Skatepark Mural Community Paint , organized by Community Alliance for the People (CAP). CAP received a grant for the project through the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services.
