on city owned dumpsters as well as private property.
All of the graffiti was done on Davis Shores near his home. After interviewing victims and witnesses SAPD detectives spoke with Ackermann explaining the accusations against him. He said he would come down to the police department to be interviewed. Instead of coming in to be interviewed he has invoked his constitutional rights to remain silent.
SAPD enjoys a strong working relationship with its communities that make up St. Augustine, like with other graffiti cases it was information obtained from our citizens that allowed us to follow-up and ultimately file these charges again Ackermann.

Fireworks Over The Matanzas, St. Augustine’s annual tradition
Jul 3rd
Fireworks Over The Matanzas, St. Augustine’s annual Independence Day fireworks display, draws the largest single-event audience in the city’s very busy calendar year. While an exact count of all who see Fireworks
Over The Matanzas is not possible, 100,000+ is not unrealistic considering that the show is seen from a 360° vantage point, including the Bridge of Lions, the Bayfront and the Castillo grounds; the grounds of the Mission Nombre de Dios; the Vilano Boat Ramp park; and Porpoise Point and Davis Shores.
