HuffPost
The unidentified man ,who allegedly ripped down the flag from an Annapolis tattoo parlor, has been charged with a hate crime.
ANNAPOLIS, Md. (AP) — A U.S. Naval Academy graduate ripped down a tattoo shop’s LGBTQ pride flag and put it in the trash, Annapolis police said in documents charging him with a hate crime.
Charlie Garrett, co-owner of the Dapper Dog Tattoo Shop, told police Friday morning that the store had been vandalized. He said was the third time someone had removed the flag, which reads “ABIDE NO HATRED”. In response, Garrett said he installed a security camera.
Closed-circuit video footage showed a man in a black puffer-style vest walking toward the store at approximately 1 a.m. Friday, police said, before he “forcefully ripped” the flag from above the shop’s awning. According to charging documents, the man was then putting it into a trash can.
The tattoo shop posted a photo of the man on social media and asked for help identifying the suspect.
