An attorney from Northern California has been charged with spray-painting a boat at Newport Harbor on the Southern California coast—causing an estimated $50,000 in damage—and then getting into a scuffle with the police officers sent to arrest him.
Kristoffer Steven Mayfield, 43, had allegedly spray-painted a sailboat inside and out, and was hurling objects into the bay at Marina Park in Newport Beach, when Orange County Sheriff’s Department deputies arrived on the scene on Dec. 29 around 11:16 a.m.
