An Auckland man accused of leaving hundreds of graffiti tags around the city will defend the charges.
Ross James Goode, 24, of Grafton, is facing eight charges of intentional damage over 857 tags left around the city.
He has entered not guilty pleas and in the Auckland District Court today appeared briefly before Judge Grant Fraser.
Court documents say that among Goode's alleged scrawls he tagged "GOSUS'' 283 times on buildings around Auckland, "GOSYS'' 457 times, "YOSUS'' 27 times and "YOSYS'' 61 times between 2010 and 2013.
He will go on trial before a judge in May and if found guilty could face jail time. He was remanded on bail.
