Oklahoma woman confesses to spray-painting hate messages 'to scare Jewish people'

An Oklahoma woman has reportedly been arrested after confessing to a spree of racist vandalism that targeted black and Jewish residents in two towns.

 

The Washington Post reported Tuesday that Allison Christine Johnson of Norman, Okla. was charged Monday with felony and misdemeanor vandalism as well as malicious intimidation or harassment after turning herself in to police.

 

Johnson is expected to face more charges for similar vandalism in Oklahoma City, according to the Post. The newspaper noted that police said Johnson has admitted to scrawling white supremacist messages such as "every race but white will die."

 

Other messages reportedly indicated support for President Trump, including some that read "Trump 2020."

 

Police in Norman told the Post that Johnson targeted an arts center, a local Democratic Party office, and several local businesses and churches with racist and neo-Nazi imagery and messages. She is currently jailed on $25,000 bond, according to the newspaper.

 

Cleveland County District Attorney Greg Mashburn, who represents Norman, told The Norman Transcript that his office considered charging Johnson with making terrorist threats, but decided that insufficient evidence existed to prove an intent to cause physical harm.

 

“We started there when looking at the charges. We went to the statute, but the statute says ‘committing acts of violence to intimidate a civilian population,’ and she did not really commit an act of violence to intimidate the population,” Mashburn told the Transcript. “Absolutely hate speech, absolutely a crime, but not necessarily a terroristic threat.”

 

He added that she will likely undergo a psychiatric evaluation.

 

An affidavit obtained by the Post claims that Johnson told investigators last week that "her intention was to scare Jewish people.”
