She said she read about Ramos’ college plans and called to tell him about her school, which she said is much less expensive than Cal State Northridge.Ībrahanson said she would allow him to submit some of his graffiti as part of the art package that applicants must submit. One inquiry came from Joan Abrahanson, director of the Santa Monica College of Design Art and Architecture.

In addition to the community service and probation, Ramos served 90 days in a Sheriff’s Department diversion program, where he said he decided to clean up his act.

It is unclear how much Ramos will be required to pay, if anything, considering that he has no job and spends most of his time completing his community service. Ramos may want to cut one of these deals soon because he has a May 1 court date in Los Angeles Municipal Court, where a judge will determine whether Ramos must pay restitution for the property damage he caused.
