Police: Pride Flag Burned In Burlington June 1

From the City of Burlington: On June 1st, 2019, at approximately 8:10 AM the Burlington Police Department responded to a report of a Pride Flag that had been burned on the porch of an occupied house on Bright Street.

Officers arrived to find the melted remains of the flag and found that the porch had been
scorched.

It was determined that the incident took place at approximately 4:37 AM on June 1st. Further
