Video: Man Arrested For Lighting Cigarette on Olympic Torch

I just saw this video on Reddit of a guy who sees an Olympic torch and sees not a symbol of international cooperation and competition but a lighter for his cigarette. Next time he should do what other people do and use an AK-47, here.

His arrest is interesting. Why is lighting a cigarette on the torch a crime? I understand it is a foul and insulting act, but a crime? I have been trying to find the specific charge.

It could be worse, some people have declared that the Olympic torch looks like a joint.
