The man who designed the artwork for Justin Bieber’s latest album Purpose – who goes by the name Retna – has found himself in some trouble with the law. He got busted for tagging up the fancy furniture store called HD Buttercup in Downtown LA and can face up to three years behind bars if he gets convicted.

(Photos) Montreal Woman Arrested For Posting Photo On Instagram?!?
The police sometimes need to remind themselves there are more pressing crimes than going after a girl on Instagram for posting a photo. A 20-year old girl posted some anti-police street art she had seen. She did not know the artist, and a few days later was detained for more than four hours. An official police spokesperson said “What I can say is that a person has been arrested this morning in connection with threats on the internet. This person was met by investigators.” Keep it moving fellas! Nothing to see here. Check out the pictures of the “offending” photos after the jump.
