A woman has been arrested on hate crimes charges for her alleged involvement in vandalizing the homes of the Brooklyn Museum's leaders during pro-Palestinian protests. Taylor Pelton, 28, was taken into custody on charges of criminal mischief and criminal mischief as a hate crime. The incident occurred on June 12 when Pelton and five others were captured on surveillance video defacing the residences of the museum's director and chief operating officer.
The activists targeted the home of the museum's director, who is Jewish, leaving behind red paint splatters and a banner labeling her as a “white-supremacist Zionist.” Additionally, an inverted red triangle, believed to be a symbol used by Hamas, was sprayed on her door.
