Actress Jessica Alba has apologized for plastering Oklahoma City with shark conservation photos, that prompted the police to launch an investigation.

"I got involved in something I should have had no part of," the "Fantastic Four" actress said in a statement Tuesday.

"I realize that I should have used better judgment and I regret not thinking things through before I made a spontaneous and ill-advised decision to let myself get involved with the people behind this campaign."


Photos showed Jessica Alba at various sites around the city with buckets of glue and the posters, vandalising the city.

"A number of shark posters were placed around downtown with heavy-duty glue, making them darn near impossible to get off," Sgt. Gary Knight of the Oklahoma City Police told the Daily News on Tuesday.

"It's basically a vandalism case that could involve our new tagger laws," he said. "It will be assigned to a detective, and then we'd send it to the District Attorney's office."

The posters were of 3 by 2 feet pictures of great white sharks, and although Alba is not named in the police report, pictures of her appeared on the site White Mike, but were taken down shortly after the police investigation came to light.
Alba is currently in Oklahoma City filimg a movie.

I live in Oklahoma...and first of all...can I ask WHY???   She apparently needs to study geography a little better with all of her movie making money.  I wish they wouldn't just let her off the hook that fast.
