His arrest is being credited to a Walmart store employee.
“An investigator came out when the mosque had video ready for us and we started working on the case,” Moorhead Police Chief Shannon Monroe said.
Monroe recounts how a Walmart security officer single handedly tracked down a suspect of a hate crime.
“Come the next day we had been notified from this store employee that they believed they had the sale of the red paint; and they gave us the other photographs and video that we needed to try and match up with what we had from the mosque,” said Monroe.
