Police are investigating an alleged hate crime reported Monday morning after an arsonist set flame to a pride flag at a home on North Villa Road near George Fox University's Roberts Center. A video captured by the residents' security camera reportedly shows a man spraying a flammable substance on the flag and lighting it, then performing a Nazi salute. No one was injured and someone alerted the home's residents before the fire spread. The incident comes amid increased tensions in the community after the Newberg School Board banned Black Lives Matter and pride flags.
