The Boone Police Department is investigating four reports of anti-LGBTQ notes taped to residents front doors. All of the handwritten messages, which said burn that gay flag, were reported Saturday.
Boone police have not publicly identified the suspect in the incidents, pending approval of an arrest warrant by the county attorney, Chief John Wiebold told the Ames Tribune. Wiebold said the notes are certainly harassment but declined to provide further information on charges police are seeking.
Wiebold said the notes were alarming and inappropriate but do not constitute direct threats.
