Los Angeles County sheriff's deputies are searching for a man they say is a prolific graffiti writer.

Transit Services Bureau deputies served a search warrant in the 600 block of Oleander Avenue in Highland Park last week in search of Tomas Benson, 28, a tagger who goes by the name RUET.

They say Benson has caused more than $8,000 in damage to L.A. city and Metropolitan Transportation Authority property.

Deputies found evidence of graffiti writing at Benson's home but did not find Benson, according to a statement from the L.A. County Sheriff's Department.

They detained another man while serving the warrant but released him after questioning.
