3 Charged In Texas Vandalism After Melania Trump Jacket Flap
SAN ANTONIO (CBSDFW.COM/AP) — Three people have been indicted in Texas on vandalism charges after slogans were found spray-painted on the San Antonio Mission National Historical Park Visitor's Center.
One message said: "I dont care. Do you."
The vandalism showed up hours after first lady Melania Trump on June 21 wore a jacket with the words "I really don't care, do u?" while traveling to and from South Texas to visit a facility housing migrant children separated from their parents.
Prosecutors on Wednesday announced a federal grand jury in San Antonio returned charges of depradation of government property. The indictment says the suspects allegedly defaced the Visitor's Center at Mission San Jose and signs, causing more than $1,000 in damages.
No court dates were immediately set for the defendants who range in age from 19 to 21-years-old. Conviction carries a penalty of up to 10 years in prison.
