MAN IN LONG BEACH, CALIFORNIA, WHO ALLEGEDLY LIT AMERICAN FLAGS ON FIRE
UNDER ARREST
Meylor allegedly moved from home to home with a lighter around 3:30 a.m. Thursday, according to FOX 11.
A series of reports came in later that morning of multiple burned flags
along Iroquois Avenue and Hackett Avenue.
Ring doorbell footage from one household appears to capture Meylor
struggle to ignite a flag in a resident's driveway.
Meylor was reportedly identified by locals using the footage, which led to
his arrest by local police.
The suspect reportedly targeted American and military flags but left
others untouched. Police say over a dozen properties were vandalized.
One burning flag fell on top of a resident's parked BMW, which became
engulfed in flames.
