Walls Spraypainted Overnight
COLUMBUS, Ohio -- Police are investigating vandalism at the Ohio Republican Party headquarters in Columbus, NewsChannel 4 reported.
Outside walls on the front, sides and back of the office building were spraypainted with politically motivated rhetoric.
GOP staffers believe the vandalism happened Thursday after the cleaning crew left at 3:30 a.m. and before the receptionist arrived at 7 a.m.
Surveillance cameras are installed at the office, but they are pointed at the parking lot, not the actual building.
The headquarters has been vandalized in the past, but not like this, according to staffers.
"We are in a heated political environment this year," said Jason Mauk of the Ohio Republican Party. "I wouldn't begin to assign blame. Clearly, these malicious acts were done by somebody with no respect for the law and too much time on their hands."
