PALM BAY, Fla., Nov. 9 (UPI) -- Police in Florida said a graffiti artist left an apology -- not for the crime of vandalism, but for an artistic infraction: "Ran out of purple."

Palm Bay police said the message was found scrawled next to a costly yet apparently unfinished purple tagging reading "Solo," Florida Today reported Monday.

Officer Dan Fisher said the graffiti caused about $200 worth of damage to the building. He said the perpetrator could face a criminal mischief charge if arrested and charged.
