HELENA - Police in Helena say they've arrested a 15-year-old boy in connection with a graffiti spree that left spray paint on 20 vehicles and 21 buildings.

Lt. Steve Hagen says the teen faces a felony charge of criminal mischief and is being held at the Great Falls Juvenile Detention Center.

Hagen says the teen was arrested after juvenile probation officers helped match the graffiti to drawings the teen had previously done. He says more people may be arrested.

The graffiti caused an estimated $4,000 in damage.
