This week we have a two-fer.

Stoopid Criminal of the Week
&
Stoopid Wrestler of the Week

The awards go to Jeff “Snowball” Monson.

The mixed martial arts fighter accused of spray-painting an anarchist symbol on the Capitol has pleaded not guilty in Olympia to malicious mischief.

KING-TV reports a Thurston County Superior Court judge ordered Jeff Monson to turn over his passport Tuesday while he awaits trial.

Prosecutors say the 37-year-old Olympia man spray-painted symbols and anti-war slogans on the Capitol last November. It cost $19,000 to clean off.

Monson, who fights under the nickname The Snowman, was charged after a picture of him and the graffiti was published in ESPN The Magazine.

He later told The Olympian it was a protest against the Iraq war and economic inequality.
