Darrell Meekcom, 55, standing next to wall graffiti at Canal Watermill in Kidderminister. November 13, 2021. A terminally-ill dad has been honoured with a suspected Banksy painting after a clip of him being wrestled to the ground by police officers went viral - after he mooned at a speed camera for his bucket list. See SWNS story SWMDbanksy. Darrell Meekcom, 55, was left stunned when he was contacted by an anonymous person who represented an ‘international street artist’ on Wednesday (10/11) morning. Now, pictures of two police officers, with a colourful small Bart Simpson, have appeared on an underpass near the Waterside Pub in Kidderminster, Worcs. The pictures show two police officers in guard gear with two batons, hovering over Bart Simpson who is showing his bum – a reference to Darrell’s bucket list he drew up after being diagnosed with terminal multiple system atrophy. Darrell dropped his trousers at the mobile speed camera van on Stourbridge Road while his wife went to buy some bread from a nearby Tesco Express. Following that, the dad of two, from Kidderminster, went viral this week after cops pulled up outside the home of Darrell - who also has Parkinson's Disease and heart and kidney problems - and demanded to be let in. When he refused, officers raided the home and kicked down the garden gate before wrestling him to the ground outside to put him in cuffs – all filmed by his wife, Sarah, 36. But now, Darrell and his family have found amusement from the artwork and has praised the mysterious artist for their ‘tongue and cheek’ mural.
