Henderson’s alleged vandalism spree “plagued the city and surrounding areas,” according to a statement from the New Rochelle Police Department. The millennial reportedly tagged the exteriors of pizzerias and other locations with a distinctive image of a pepperoni slice adorned with green lines, presumably representing oregano, and gooey cheese dripping off the edges. The graffiti artist faces three charges of making graffiti.
An Instagram account under the handle “OneSlicePlease” shared more than a dozen photos showcasing the trademark slice spray-painted on various pizza shops. The profile also featured a screenshot of a news segment highlighting the controversial actions. Additionally, “One Slice Please” operates a website where enthusiasts of the unique artwork can purchase a framed painting of the pizza depiction for $3,000.
The phenomenon, attributed to a single individual who seemingly holds a deep affection for pizza, has garnered attention both on social media and among local media outlets and influencers in Westchester County. New Rochelle police described the arrest as the culmination of a year-long investigation, emphasizing the public interest surrounding the so-called “movement.”
Henderson presently faces three counts of making graffiti, with further charges pending, as per law enforcement officials.
