San Diego's 'Bubble Pirate' Cited for Littering During Public Performance

City officials argue bubble solution harms park grass; performer disputes environmental impact

Sandy Snakenberg, known as the 'Bubble Pirate,' received a ticket for 'littering prohibited fluids' in La Jolla Cove.
Snakenberg claims his bubble solution is environmentally safe and has been performing for over a decade.
San Diego Parks and Recreation Department states the solution damages grass and violates municipal codes.
The citation is part of broader city efforts to regulate street performers and vendors in high-traffic areas.
Snakenberg intends to fight the citation in court, maintaining that his performances do no harm.
