Ohio woman arrested for spray painting racial slurs on neighbor’s house

An Ohio woman was arrested on Friday for spray painting a racial slur, “Hail Trump” and a swastika on the front of her neighbor’s home.

Patricia Edelen was caught on another neighbor’s surveillance cameras Friday night spray painting the offensive words on the Ogden Ave. home in Toledo, ABC 13 reported.

Toledo Police Sgt. Paul Davis said Edelen had multiple warrants and tried to run away from officers during the arrest.

“The officers were forced to make forced entry into her residence and took her into custody without further incident,” Davis said, according to the news outlet.

The neighbor with the security cameras, identified by the news station as Chris, said he bought the surveillance specifically because of Edelen’s previous behavior.

According to ABC 13, she was charged with “ethnic intimidation by reason of race, color, religion or national origin, criminal mischief, and criminal damaging/endangering property to cause/create substantial risk of physical harm.”
