Hollywood residents woke up on New year's day to find the iconic
Hollywood sign altered to read "Hollyweed" in an apparent New Year's Day
prank. Surveillance cameras recorded a male suspect dressed in all
black at 3 a.m. vandalizing the sign, said Lt. Guy Juneau of the Los
Angeles Police Department's Security Services Division.
The unidentified vandal scaled Mount Lee, made his way over a fence and
then climbed onto each of the landmark's "O" letters, the lieutenant
said. He then draped those letters with black tarps so they each
appeared as a lowercase "e."
Singer Miley Cyrus liked it and wrote:
💚 I knew 2017 was going to be MY year!!!!!!!!! 💚 Great start everybody! F#ck yeah! Hollyweed!
The suspect remained at large hours after the incident. If caught, he
would face a misdemeanor trespassing charge, according to the LAPD.
Park rangers removed the tarps and restored the proper text's visibility by 11:15 a.m Sunday morning.
