A DELINQUENT who broke into a house and scrawled his name in paint over the carpet has been charged with criminal damage a DECADE after he committed the offence.
Lewis Graham, 22, admitted to police that he wrecked the carpet, causing £400 worth of damage at the age of 12 - but insisted the charges were "stupid."Graham broke into the house, which was being renovated at the time, and poured fresh paint over an "expensive" carpet - also scrawling his first name in paint.But Essex Police eventually matched Lewis Graham's fingerprints and DNA to the crime scene - and the now 22 year old was bought in for questioning.
The carpet-destroyer was issued with a caution and instructed to go on a victim awareness course - as well as pay £80 in costs.He was then charged with criminal damage, with cops issuing a statement insisting: "A criminal investigation is never closed until the offender has been brought to justice.
Graham was let off with a conditional discharge, meaning that if he commits another crime in the next six months he'll be slammed with a double punishment - one for any crime he commits plus the carpet damage.Toddler destroys a £1,000 carpet after tipping over a huge pot of white paint

I can't believe they wasted resources for this ridiculous crime & then wanted to punish the guy over a decade later. Like wasn't statute of limitations up? Glad he fought it & won. Leave him alone.
