A 19-year-old woman was charged with a hate crime after allegedly stomping on a Back the Blue sign at a gas station in Panguitch.
According to the affidavit of probable cause, a Garfield County police officer was conducting a traffic stop for speeding at a gas station when the officer saw a woman stomping on a Back the Blue sign next to where the traffic stop was conducted, crumble it up in a destructive manner and throw it into a trash can all while smirking in an intimidating manner towards me.
The officer writes they asked the woman where she had gotten the sign, and she stated it was her mothers. According to the affidavit, the officer told the woman that the local Sheriffs Office produced those specific signs and that they believed she had acquired it in our community.
After reading the woman her Miranda rights, the officer stated she gave inconsistent stories about where she found the sign, eventually stating she found it on the ground.
Due to [the woman] destroying property that did not belong to her in a manner to attempt to intimidate law enforcement, I placed her under arrest, the affidavit says.
