Palacios faces grand larceny, criminal mischief, criminal possession of stolen property, graffiti, and possession of a graffiti instrument charges.

Investigators tied him to another incident being investigated by the citywide vandals task force.  They think Palacios is the person who tagged a wall with SOHO in the Broad Channel Subway Station in Queens last June.  He faces graffiti and criminal mischief charges in connection with that incident.

Palacios was arrested in September after smashing a table and glass wall in a Lower East Side McDonald's.  He also knocked a person to the floor.

Despite the weapons and menacing charges, Palacios was quickly released after that arrest.  Information about an attorney for Palacios was unavailable.
