A Utah hate crime case is drawing national attention after local authorities charged a young woman with a hate crime over allegedly
defacing a Back the Blue sign in front of a sheriff s deputy.
Utah is one of at least five states along with Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi and New Hampshire that list law enforcement officers, along with race and gender, in their hate crime laws protected categories, according to the Brennan Center for Justice.
Lauren Gibson, 19, is accused of stomping on a Back the Blue sign while smirking in an intimidating manner at a Garfield County sheriff s deputy. The deputy had pulled over a group of vehicles for speeding, the sheriff s office says.
