Diego Corona was charged with criminal damage to public property under $500 and battery, police said.

Corona has been sentenced to two years of probation, along with 50 hours of community service. He was also ordered to pay nearly $150 in restitution to the city.

It's not the first time the Bean has been tagged since it became a Chicago symbol in 2004. Two men were hit with felony charges in 2019 after a group of people defaced it with white spray paint.
