Man who damaged LGBTQ streetscape sentenced to probation

DELRAY BEACH, Fla. (AP) — A man convicted of burning tire marks across a gay pride streetscape in South Florida while participating in a rally for former President Donald Trump last summer has been sentenced to two years of probation and 100 hours of community service. Alexander Jerich had previously pleaded guilty to felony criminal mischief and misdemeanor reckless driving, but a Palm Beach County circuit judge withheld adjudication during a Tuesday hearing, meaning the 20-year-old man will not have a felony on his record. Officials say Jerich joined about 30 vehicles in Delray Beach last June celebrating former President Donald Trump’s birthday. A video that went viral showed a pickup truck adorned with a Trump flag burning tire marks into a rainbow design painted on a road.
