Sun Rises, Someone Spraypaints Swastikas on Trees, Baby Cries, Life Goes On

The least interesting report out of Monday’s Darien police news briefing on Monday was that someone had vandalized a few trees (probably with spray paint), by adorning them with red images of swastikas and the phallic part of the male anatomy. The event happened sometime between noon on Saturday, July 18, and noon the next day at the Olsen Wood Bird Sanctuary, a tract owned by the Darien Land Trust consisting of a trail between Echo Drive and Heather Lane, parallel to Hoyt Street. A 16-year-old girl did the right thing and reported the matter to police. The land trust was informed. For some reason, other news publications covering Darien thought that this was the first report from the briefing that they should publish.
