Arizona police say they’ve arrested the infamous ‘Penis Man’ graffiti artist

A graffiti artist suspected of spraying numerous surfaces in Arizona with the words “Penis Man” was arrested last week, a report said.

Dustin Shomer was busted Thursday for allegedly spreading his tag throughout Tempe and Arizona State University — covering traffic poles, abandoned buildings and traffic light poles with the vulgar phrase, according to the Arizona Republic.

The 38-year-old suspect was slapped with aggravated criminal damage, criminal damage and criminal trespassing charges, the report said.

Following the arrest, Shomer created a GoFundMe page to assist in his legal fees.

“I’m broke and have lost my job,” he wrote.

“I need help with legal fees to defend myself against Tempe PD. I’ve got bad PTSD and had an AR-15 in my face 2 days ago. That sh– was real scary.”

By early Monday, Shomer had raised just over $1,600 of his $10,000 goal.
