    Along with the vandalism to vehicles, he stole traffic signs from the city's main streets.

    His claim to fame is the caning which drew international media attention.
    He suffered burns to his hands and face after snorting butane.
    To add more misery to his legal woes, he was charged with reckless and careless driving, failing to report an auto collision and possession of an open container (1996).
