State budget negotiators are facing billions in deficits. One way to make a small dent: sell the barrel monster on eBay.
The News & Observer reports:
The creator of the “Barrel Monster” made of orange and white construction barrels was given 50 hours of community service for misdemeanor charges of larceny and damage to property.
Joseph Carnevale, 21, an N.C. State University student, said he will probably fulfill his punishment with Habitat for Humanity, which builds homes for low-income families.
…
Carnevale was arrested June 10 by a Raleigh police officer who spotted the barrel creation on Hillsborough Street, where it was up for a few hours on March 31.
The Barrel Monster was seized by Raleigh police as part of their investigation and is now in pieces in a Raleigh police evidence room.
Of course, shipping might be a problem.
