4 arrested for twisting Arizona family’s yard menorah into swastika

Four people have been arrested on suspicion of twisting a large decorative menorah in the front yard of an Arizona family’s home into a swastika.

The arrests are reported Friday by the Arizona Republic newspaper.

One of the suspects was identified by Chandler police as 19-year-old Clive Jamar Wilson. The other three suspects are male juveniles, according to police. The four suspects were arrested on suspicion of first-degree criminal trespass and aggravated criminal damage. They reportedly were released pending charges.

The Hanukkah candelabra damaged on December 30, 2016, was made of gold spray-painted PVC pipes and solar-powered lights.
