A man accused of spray painting anti-racism messages on 100 stop signs told police they could lock him up “and throw away the key” because he stood behind what he wrote, according to the Port Orange Police Department.
Records show on July 6, several stop signs across the city were found to have been painted so that the word “Racism” or the phrase “I can’t breathe” appeared beneath the word “Stop.”
Surveillance video from the areas where the vandalism occurred led officers to identify 32-year-old Zachary Keto as a suspect, police said.
A search warrant was executed at his home on Friday and while there, officers said they found a receipt for spray paint and stencils, spray paint, stencils and other evidence.
When Kato saw an officer holding a can of spray paint he said, “(Expletive), (expletive) digging through my trash. I did not take the trash out this morning, (expletive). You petty (expletive), bro. (Expletive) man, ah homeboy just (expletive) walked through with that in his hand digging through the (expletive) garbage. I’m (expletive) now,” according to the affidavit.
Records show Kato watched as officers continued searching the home.
“You can lock me up and throw away the key. (Expletive) racism, (expletive) white power. I’ll scream it ‘til the day I die. I want to see a judge and jury tell me that speaking out against (expletive) racism is wrong. (Expletive) that (expletive). I don’t give a (expletive) what happens,” Kato said, according to the report.
