On Feb. 16, the Grosse Pointe Park Public Safety Department responded to a home in the 1100 block of Wayburn Street after learning that someone had placed a KKK flag in the side window of a home facing a neighboring home where a Black family. In a statement, police said officers went to the home of the suspect to investigate, spoke with the suspect a 31-year-old Grosse Pointe Park man and asked him to remove the flag “due to its offensive nature.” The flag was taken down from the window, but the suspect could be facing harassment/ethnic intimidation charges, police said.
