A John Lennon fan who scrawled "LOVE" on his hero's Central Park memorial probably didn't imagine he'd be arrested.
Michael Philippas, 51, was charged with making graffiti after he took out a black marker and wrote the word across the circular monument, in a section of the park called Strawberry Fields, at 11:45 a.m. Tuesday, cops said.
He was spotted by a Parks Department worker and arrested.
Philippas was released on his own recognizance.
The memorial has been repeatedly vandalized by fans wanting to show their respect for the musician.
I'm obviously not one of those people who worships Lennon, but it amazes me how anyone would think vandalizing their hero's memorial is "showing respect."
