Spokane police arrested a man this week who they suspect of throwing locally sponsored Christmas trees at Riverfront Park into the river. He is also a suspect in several other crimes committed in the last two months, police said, including a felony assault.
Earlier this week, a Spokane police detective believed he had probable cause to charge 18-year-old Anthony Statton with malicious mischief after two suspects caused extensive damage to eight Christmas Trees at Riverfront Park, a news release said.
A Spokane Park Ranger called crime check to report the damage, which was captured on video surveillance. He said it happened around 3 a.m. The trees were sponsored by various organizations for the Holiday Tree Walk in the Park and had only been up for three days before the damage, the release said.
