A rarely filed ethnic intimidation charge was lodged against a Hendersonville man on April 28 for defacing a Martin Luther King Jr. statue in the memorial park on North Grove Street named after the civil rights leader.
A 31-year-old white man vandalized the statue with anti-Semitic and racially biased graffiti, according to Hendersonville Police Chief Blair Myhand.
A passerby called the HPD to let them know what the man was doing and police caught the suspect in the act, Myhand said.
The man was charged with ethnic intimidation and damage to property. His name is not being published by the Times-News because the charges are misdemeanors.
