Jared Loughner, the suspect in a mass shooting that left Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords critically wounded, was cited in October 2008 for criminal damage-graffiti after someone saw him using a marker to deface a street sign with symbols, reports from the Marana Police Department and Marana Municipal Court show.

He denied any involvement during an initial interview with a police officer, but in a second interview, he told a police officer the letters he had painted stood for "Christian."

"I asked Loughner the meaning of his moniker. He stated that the 'c' meant Christian and the 'x' also meant Christian," the officer wrote. The officer drew the moniker in a police report, noting next to it in parentheses, "As personally written by Loughner on my field interviewing notebook!"

Loughner also admitted to other graffiti in the Pima County area but none other in Marana, saying he always used a marker, not a spray can.
