A 30-year-old woman was charged with a hate crime after police and prosecutors say she broke windows and left bacon —a taboo for observant Muslims — on the door handle of a mosque in Davis, California.
At a news conference Tuesday, the Yolo County District Attorney's Office announced the arrest of Lauren Kirk-Coehlo of Davis, which prosecutors streamed on Periscope. She is a graduate of UC Berkeley, the Sacramento Bee reported.
She is charged in the vandalism of the Davis Islamic Center last month. The vandal broke six windows and two bicycles and put bacon strips on door handles.
She faces a felony vandalism charge with a hate-crime enhancement stemming from the Jan. 22 incident. She faces a maximum of six years in prison if convicted of all counts, and bail was set at $1 million. The Yolo County District Attorney's Office streamed its news conference on Periscope.

“It’s an offering to the Moon God.”
First decent Cal Grad I’ve seen in decades! I graduated from that $hit hole university in 1965 but I seldom speak of it!
The Coelho family fought in the Crusades. Interesting.
Without video proof, this DID NOT HAPPEN
We’re there any arrests at Berkeley related to broken windows and assaults?
I’m curious why some broken windows are more important than others.
Bail set at $1M? REALLY??
Must have dropped from a Bacon Cheese Burger
Did you watch the video linked?
She’s stupid for not concealing her identity. If you’re going to do stuff like this at least dress like a crook.
Food is a hate crime , LOL
LOL! Carrying on a fine family tradition then.
She should dispute the charges as infringement on her Crusader culture.
Go Bears
She needs to be more careful next time so she does not get caught.
how hard is it to leave bacon and not get caught? Not too hard. Try harder next time. geeez
Socialist-democrats trash Berkeley, and get a free pass. Free speech and all of that.
Put a piece of bacon on a mosque, and your infidel ass goes straight to prison, because there’s no free speech or freedom of religion for you.
But rest assured that jihadi muslims have the right to murder infidels in california with impunity, because they’re expressing their religious beliefs.
Ask about certain citizens of San Bernardino how that worked out for them. Oh wait, they’re dead.....
Berkeley? Is this a set up?
$1M bail? Excessive doesn’t begin to describe it.
However, I didn't see any 'vandalism' re windows or bikes.
And I applaud her for the bacon 'gifts'.
After 9/11 and all the atrocities since then, I don't trust a f'n one of 'em.
If it was a Christian church she would have got a ticket for vandalism and walked.
I don’t understand the hate crime charge.
Is it that she hated the pigs who gave their lives to produce that bacon?
Maybe she is pro-bacon and was offering some free samples.
She should learn to do her craft during one of their routine masked anarchist riots...
There is video of her doing it at the linked site. Now the motive? Who knows.
