A man accused of graffiti vandalism spree in Shoreline pleaded not guilty Monday to malicious mischief charges in King County Superior Court.
Thirty-five-year-old Tony Huy Lee was released without bail while awaiting trial.
Police accuse him of spray-painting homes, businesses and city property with the tag "Kidd" and "K-D" over three years, causing more than $7,000 in damage.
Lee told KOMO News police have the wrong man. He says officers arrested him February 8 because he was in the area of vandalism. He says blue paint on his coat was from painting his house.
