A 65-year-old Glendale woman is accused of vandalizing a memorial to women forced into sex slavery and of writing bigoted graffiti.
“We’re still trying to figure out what her motive is behind this,” said Sgt. Dan Suttles, a Glendale Police Department spokesman.Surveillance footage from the park shows a woman matching Williams’ description walking up to the statue and drawing on it before kicking over several nearby potted plants.
Williams lives within half a mile of the statue and was in possession of different-colored permanent markers when she was arrested, Suttles said.Detectives are investigating her possible involvement in a spate of bigoted graffiti scrawled onto and near several buildings along a stretch of Colorado Street between Pacific Avenue and Brand Boulevard.
Suttles said the graffiti included derogatory messages written in marker targeting several minority groups.“There was no isolated demographic. It targeted anyone and everyone — you name it,” he said. In one instance, a wall at the Armenian-American Council on Aging was defaced with the message “Death to Armenians” in red marker, along with a reference to President Trump.
In a statement, Glendale Police Chief Carl Povilaitis said that the vandalism does not reflect the values of the community and that the department is dedicated to fully investigating the incident.
