Three Washington State teenagers are facing felony charges after they left scooter marks on a gay pride mural that had been painted onto the pavement. A “no-ride zone” has been created around the mural.
Eyewitnesses said four young people rode scooters over the roadway mural and left behind skid marks.
“I am deeply troubled by the repeated defacement of Spokane’s Pride flag mural’” said Spokane Mayor Lisa Brown. “To the LGBTQ+ community, please know that I stand in solidarity with you against all forms of discrimination and prejudice.”
At least three teenagers have been arrested and charged with felonies. They could face several years in prison. Prosecutors had wanted the judge to impose a $15,000 bond.
