Law enforcement arrived at the Embassy Suites in Charleston, W.Va., to find fliers promoting antisemitic conspiracy theories. They soon found the man who allegedly committed the act following antagonism towards the officer who pulled him over for an expired license plate.
Police took Jeremy Harris, 27, into custody, charging him with disorderly conduct for spewing vulgarity, a misdemeanor. In his car, they found copies of the hateful literature.
According to the complaint, Sgt. Travis Bailes wrote: “I asked him to stop using profane language in public. As Mr. Harris was given his citation and allowed to return to his vehicle, he turned to me and shouted, ‘f*** you. Heil Hitler,’ and presented a Nazi salute.”
The fliers blamed Jews for the terrorist attacks on Sept. 11, 2001, gun control and the LGBTQ movement. They also disparaged circumcision. Harris reportedly distributed them at two other hotels: a Holiday Inn Express and a Best Western/Quality Inn.
