Arrest Made In Tucson Chabad Vandalism
A 30-year Tucson man was charged with aggravated criminal damage for allegedly vandalizing a Tucson synagogue earlier this month, authorities said.
Nathan Beaver was arrested Thursday as part of investigation by Tucson police officers into antisemitic graffiti found at the Chabad on River synagogue in Midtown Tucson on June 7. Rabbi Ram Bigelman said that he found the graffiti on a side door of his synagogue, including a large Nazi swastika painted on the outside door, along with an ethnic slur for Jews.
The incident was one of two acts of vandalism at Tucson-area synagogues in less than a month, and the incident prompted the formation of a coalition of 50 religious, ethnic and race-based organizations from Tucson and Southern Arizona to push back against antisemitism, anti-Asian sentiment, Islamophobia, and racism.
