Dalton Ray Mullis was arrested Thursday.<\/p>\n

\u201cPosting Nazi and lynching symbols on the Jewish Community Center is pure hate and it\u2019s disgusting,\u201d Russ Ferguson, the U.S. attorney for the Western District of North Carolina, said in a statement Friday<\/a>.<\/p>\n

According to a news release from the U.S. Attorney\u2019s Office and court records, Mullis defaced multiple buildings on the Jewish Community Center property, including the Charlotte Jewish Day School, the Holocaust memorial and other facilities on Providence Road.<\/p>\n

Authorities suspect Mullis placed antisemitic flyers showing hateful symbols such as a noose, a swastika and imagery associated with the German Nazi Party. According to the news release, surveillance footage showed Mullis taping a flyer to the entrance of the Charlotte Jewish Day School.<\/p>\n
