Part 3 of a series
First he kicked the truck with #BLM painted in white letters on its back window.
Next, he pounded on the large Black Lives Matter flag hanging against the garage door.
Then he tried to attack the woman who d displayed those messages, which became prominent after high-profile police killings of African Americans.
To Mirella Castaneda, the victim, it s clear Black Lives Matter was what sparked the anger of the stranger who attacked her property.
Her house appears to be the only one on Steven Teets s route home from downtown Forest Grove that displayed numerous large Black Lives Matter messages five if you count the one on the giant flag, another painted on her Ram pickup and three more on her Toyota 4Runner along with a smaller-print yard sign listing Black Lives Matter among other human-rights slogans.

After the Forest Grove family was frightened, police didn t tell the victims their alleged intruder was a fellow cop.
Steven Teets, the off-duty Forest Grove police officer accused of criminal trespass against a Latino couple flying a Black Lives Matter flag last Halloween, was so intoxicated and belligerent when contacted by other officers that he was ready to fight his fellow cops, Pamplin Media Group has learned.
The new details, contained in a five-page Washington County Sheriff s Office memo, substantiate the account of Forest Grove resident Mirella Castaneda, which first received widespread media coverage in early November.
Shortly before 1 a.m. on Halloween, Castaneda poked her head outside to see who had set off the alarm on her family s pickup truck, at which point an unknown man charged at her in apparent rage, pounded on her front door and appeared eager to fight. She saw him bang on her Black Lives Matter flag as well.
