A University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee student is fighting a vandalism citation after ripping up a swastika sign on campus.
A student at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee is facing a citation for vandalism after tearing up a person’s swastika sign during an on-campus event.
“He was probably 30, 40, 50 feet, depending on where he had moved from, away from that event where he was holding onto his sign,” LeMire says of the man. “[Hosmanek] was making gestures as if she was going to do something to the person that was holding the sign. Proactively, an officer in the area made contact with her and said, ‘Whatever you’re thinking, don’t do it. You might get yourself in trouble. Stay back, don’t interfere.’ And she agreed that she would not interfere.
“[She] ripped the sign out of his hands, and then ran away ripping it up while the officers had to go after her, make contact with her,” LeMire says. “We arrested her and brought her back to one of our squad cars.” “We decided, let’s change the ticket to vandalism because that would look better on her record, and additionally it would be $200 less of a forfeiture amount that she would have to pay if found guilty,” LeMire explains. “It’s something that looks better on her record.”
