And the city wasn't appreciative.<br /><br />Stump, a 27-year-old Ball State University graduate student and father, says he was arrested in July on a charge of criminal mischief for creating the crosswalk at the intersection of Dicks and North streets. A police officer then warned him after he went back to touch up the paint in August, and the county prosecutor decided to charge him again.<br /><br />&nbsp;</p> http://tags.library.upenn.edu/makerecord/url/2651 http://tags.library.upenn.edu/makerecord/url/2651 <font size="2">The following crosswalk was done by Elizabeth Mangan, Geography and Map Division, Library of Congress.</font>
