CHICAGO (AP) — Chicago police say they have arrested a man suspected of vandalizing a Loop synagogue last weekend.
In a news release on Wednesday, police say 31-year-old Stuart Wright was arrested on a felony count of criminal damage to property and a felony hate crime charge. They say he was arrested Tuesday on the city’s southwest side.
Police say Wright was arrested with the help of information provided to a department tip line after surveillance video of the incident was released.
Also, they say detectives identified him as a suspect seen on the video climbing from a vehicle, attach swastika stickers on the front door of the Chicago Loop Synagogue and then smash a plate glass window with what appeared to be a metal object.
It wasn’t immediately known if Wright has legal representation.
