Utah student charged with hate crime for destroying pro-police sign
Fox News
Lauren Gibson, who attends college in California, was arrested for disorderly conduct and criminal mischief with a hate-crime enhancement. She told the Daily Beast she’s not "anti-police," but was angered by the deputy she claimed was aggressive during the stop near a gas station in Panguitch, Utah.
Deputy Cree Carter said Gibson did so while "smirking" at him in an "intimidating manner," leading to the charge that’s prompted criticism from the American Civil Liberties Union in Utah. "Due to the demeanor displayed by Gibson in attempts to intimate law enforcement while destroying a ‘Pro Law Enforcement’ sign the allegations are being treated as a ‘Hate Crime’ enhanced allegation," Carter wrote in the affidavit, citing the state’s law passed in 2019.
