Police investigate Trump graffiti in Mystic
Stonington — Lyndsey Pyrke-Fairchild woke up Thursday morning to find that someone had spray painted "Trump 2020" in black on the white picket fence of her home at 37 Greenmanville Ave. (Route 27).
Later in the day, after word of the graffiti spread via social media and Pyrke-Fairchild bought some primer, friends came by to paint over the message.
Pyrke-Fairchild, who said she is not a supporter of the president, has signs for local Democratic candidates in her front yard. She said she has no idea who vandalized her fence.
"It's upsetting because we love our community, so you feel a little attacked," she said Thursday afternoon.
Stonington Police Capt. Todd Olson said police are investigating the incident as criminal mischief, a misdemeanor. The home is located just south of Mystic Seaport Museum.
