O'Brien is facing several charges including criminal mischief.

"We take this very seriously. This could be very offensive to someone," said Teller County Sheriff's Office Cmdr. Greg Couch. "It's more than just kids spray painting or damaging something. This symbol is something that has a more broad affect."
