Jessica Alba is under criminal investigation for daring to take a stand on behalf of great white sharks -- in Oklahoma!
Oklahoma City cops tell us the city's Director of Parks and Recreation -- Wendell Whisenhunt -- filed a police report after photos surfaced of Alba allegedly defacing electrical boxes, a bridge and a United Way billboard. Alba was on a mission, gluing posters that are part of a campaign to save the great whites.
The problem -- the glue is so gnarly the posters aren't coming off. Cops say they want to have a chat with Alba, who's in town filming a movie.
Alba, it seems, is scrambling. Her rep has already called the United Way, offering to replace the billboard.
By the way ... someone please tell Ms. Alba Oklahoma is a landlocked, flyover state.

Dumb: Defacing all sorts of public property in landlocked Oklahoma City (including a United Way poster) ... to increase local awareness for great white sharks ... which don't usually dwell anywhere close to Oklahoma City.
Dumber: Capturing all the stupidity on film and posting it on the Internet.
People in OKC are pretty upset after these photos surfaced yesterday on TheLostOgle.com. The pics clearly show Alba tagging downtown OKC with the posters, which ironically don't even have a clear message on them ... posters that stoners probably think are just advertisements for Shark Week.
The most ridiculous part is that one of the spots she's accused of tagging was a billboard for the United Way. A rep for the non-profit organization told us although the billboard was donated, they'll probably have to pay out of their own pocket to replace it. Either way, the U.W. said, "We remain focused on our work rather than this minor distraction."
So far, cops say no one has filed charges against Alba.

Tributes to the late Steve Irwin are still going strong.
Following in the footsteps of Andre the Giant and Hervé Villechaize (aka Tattoo from "Fantasy Island"), Steve Irwin has been immortalized in the San Francisco Bay area with Obey-style posters. Reminiscent of Communist propaganda posters, the Obey posters have appeared for years in urban areas throughout the world and are the mastermind of artist Frank Shepard Fairey.
The poster, featuring Steve Irwin's image, has the letters R.I.P. below his face and the word KRIKEY! in bold letters at the bottom of the poster.
TMZ is a proud member of the Steve Irwin Posse.
