Three charged for antisemitic graffiti in University Heights
Three people are facing charges in connection with antisemitic graffiti painted on businesses in University Heights.
The incidents happened between July 21 and July 26 in the Cedar/South Green business district. University Heights police said a swastika and other offensive images were left on buildings, including some owned by members of the Jewish community.
The investigation led University Heights police to execute a search warrant on South Green Road in Beachwood.
On Monday, Bo Briele Truitt, 23, and Gabriel Truitt, 20, were charged with ethnic intimation, inducing panic, contributing to the delinquency of a minor and criminal damaging. A 16-year-old Beachwood girl was also charged. Bo Truitt is already in custody and a warrant is out for Gabriel Truitt’s arrest.
“The University Heights Police Department condemns Antisemitism and acts of ethnic intimidation; and we will remain diligent in our zero tolerance efforts to prevent, investigate, and apprehend those who commit such cowardly and hateful acts,” the department said in a news release on Tuesday.
