2nd Arrest Made in Midtown Vandalism

MEMPHIS, Tenn. - Memphis Police arrested the second suspect accused of vandalizing the Gay & Lesbian Community Center and assaulting an officer.

22-year old Wesley Huggins was taken into custody Thursday and charged with vandalism under $500.00, setting fire to personal property or land, and assault.

Huggins and 23-year old Ross Burton were seen by officers attempting to set fire to the rope of the gay pride flag on the flag pole in front of the building Wednesday morning.

When approached by the officers, the two suspects began fighting with them and attempted to disarm them.

Both fled the scene, but Burton was caught a short time later and taken into custody.

Air patrol and K-9 units searched the area but were unable to locate the second suspect, later identified as Huggins.
