The San Pablo Police Department issued a warning to the community to not mess with the American Flag.
According to police, the incident occurred Thursday morning with the headline “Don’t Mess with ‘Old Glory”
This morning our officers got a call from the San Pablo Post Office about a man who had just cut down the American Flag. Luckily our Priority Oriented Policing (P.O.P) Unit Officers were in the area and saw the suspect. Despite the suspect trying to flee into the creek, our officer easily caught him and recovered the flag.
The suspect was taken to county jail and will be spending Christmas behind bars. The “Stars and Stripes” was returned to its rightful owner, US Postal Service in San Pablo.
The police department said the officer who recovered the flag was also a Veteran. The officers did their best to take good care of the flag and keep it off the ground as much as possible.
The suspect was not identified by the San Pablo Police Department and no other information was released on the incident.
