The Apprehension of Buket By the Cowardly LA County Probation Office

The LA Times reports Cyrus Yazdani, who authorities say is the legendary tagger Buket, was arrested Tuesday at a scheduled meeting with his probation officer. Sheriffs Deputy Devin Vanderlaan:

"He's one of the most prolific taggers we've seen," Vanderlaan said. "He's on buses, overpasses, in the L.A. riverbed -- he's everywhere."

The investigators said they spotted four "Buket" scrawls Tuesday during the short trip from downtown to the Crenshaw District to pick Yazdani up at the probation office.

But you don't have to drive throughout L.A. to see "Buket's" work -- and that's what did him in, authorities said.

"Buket," they said, became something of an Internet sensation with the daredevil tagging 20 feet above the busy Hollywood Freeway -- vandalism captured on videotape and posted with a rap soundtrack on You Tube and numerous tagger-related blogs.

Another daylight attack captured on video appears to show "Buket" applying his moniker to a Metropolitan Transportation Authority bus as passersby and passengers watch in surprise.

It's the bus video that got Vanderlaan's attention.

For the record, Yazdani says he didn't do it. Not sure how they they'll be able to prove it, either, since it could be anybody in those videos. Though Yazdani is already on probation for prior tagging, and they did find his apartment loaded with paint cans—I'm guessing that's a violation. Here's the Hwy 101 overpass job:

Here (near the end of the clip) is the MTA Bus job:

And here's bumper sticker #8106:
