Police Investigate Vandalism At Bernie Sanders Seattle Office
Police were investigating Friday night after someone threw a rock through a glass door at the Sanders campaign office on East Yesler Way.
SEATTLE, WA β Police were called to a Bernie Sanders campaign office in Seattle Friday night after someone threw a rock through a glass door. Shaun Scott, the Washington State Field Director for the Sanders campaign, posted two videos on social media shortly after the incident.
"Someone decided to put a rock through the window here at the Bernie Seattle headquarters tonight," Scott wrote. "Everyone is okay and we'll be here sweeping up the pieces and applying plywood."
The first video shows Seattle police officers taking photos of the rock and cataloging evidence. A woman can be heard telling another officer that the suspect spat on her glasses.
