A man was arrested on suspicion of malicious harassment Tuesday after he was accused of tipping over and damaging a cart that contained religious brochures in Port Angeles, police said.
Officers responded to a report that a man had damaged the cart at Fountain Square in downtown Port Angeles. An investigation revealed that the cart contained religious brochures that were being handed out to people who might be interested.
Police quickly located the 71-year-old suspect, who told officers that the people handing out the pamphlets were "pagans and heathens, and that they are a false religion," according to a press release from the department.
The man was booked into jail on suspicion of malicious harassment, a felony.
