FAIRFIELD, Conn — Earlier this month, a school and store were found graffitied with anti-Joe Biden rhetoric.
Police said the woman responsible, 65-year-old Emily Winters, of Fairfield, turned herself in Wednesday after a warrant was issued for her arrest.
According to a release, Winters was identified as as potential suspect after police received several tips from local residents.
She confessed to defacing the exterior walls of TJ Maxx, the foundation of the Tunxis Hill Corner Plaza and the driveway of McKinley School.
Winters had spray-painted the phrase "United States of China" on a sidewalk at McKinley Elementary School. The same phrase was also found by officers spray-painted on a snowbank in the back of the school's parking lot.
Before Police arrived, Fairfield Public Schools Security and Facilities workers had removed more words spray-painted on the sidewalk that read, "Biden for socialism."
Republican State Senator Tony Hwang said the graffiti was right at the entrance to the school, where families could see it. He said the fact that it was at this particular elementary school was especially upsetting to him.
"At McKinley School which is well renowned in the region for its incredible diversity. Over 40 languages spoken, religion, ethnicity, culture, it is a tremendous melting pot of a community," he said.
The Board of Education and Fairfield Public Schools released a joint statement that reads in part:
"As we process the events unfolding across our country, we know that many in our community are dealing with feeling anger, hurt, and fear. However, there is no place for divisiveness or disruptive language in Fairfield Public Schools."
Winters was charged with Criminal Mischief and released with a promise to appear in court on Feb. 12.
Fairfield PD thanked Fairfield residents, local news, and social media groups for the assistance in identifying Winters.
While driving around in Los Angeles area, I have seen people tagging on the walls...They were all young Hispanic males...
A woman who is 65 years old...Not a typical vandal...
I don't think some judge will send this lady to jail...She will probably pay fine and do some community service...She will end up on probation...
I have a feeling that her lawyer will tell the judge that she has some mental problem...
This is a strange story...A senior citizen with a spray can in her hand...
Crime of the Century.
Incitement to insurrection. 25 to life in the federal penitentiary.
Crime of the Century.
*********************
Telling the Truth really is a crime now.
She did confess to vandalism...
Clearly a domestic terrorist equal to 0bama vin Laden!
The missing political affiliation in the article implies she’s a mentally ill Biden supporter. Otherwise she would have been a white right wing extremist.
I’m offended by the Black Lives Matter graffiti painted in every town. I’m especially upset about Bowser & DiBlasio allowing entire blocks to be defaced by such racist language that only serves to divide us. Does anyone in power GAF about what a white conservative is feeling?
I wonder how many were arrested for the tagging buildings after George Floyd.
In fact people were called racist for cleaning it up.
I hope this helped get rid of some of her RAGE, I have been walking around with the same rage for months now and just can’t shake it!!
This country was not racist in any way, HOWEVER the treatment we are receiving being white is certainly causing us to become racist!!
Anti Biden = Domestic terrorist. She will be sent to gitmo and waterboarded.
I wish I were joking.
Wow, those kids came dangerously close to learning something real at their school. This must not be allowed in today’s Amerika.
Not that I approve of vandalism - but kudos to you mam’. And kudos for owning up to it.
HA HA HA HA, Go Granny!
.
She didn’t burn it down like what leftists )demlefty media and politicos consider as ‘Protest’
.
I agree.
‘Atta Girl! Go granny go granny go granny go!
I remember a Teacher in Orange County CA brought a Trump Piñata to School and she let her Class go for it.
