Virginia Democrat charged with felonies in destruction of monument

World Tribune: Virginia state Sen. Louise Lucas has been charged with two felonies for her alleged involvement in the destruction of a large Confederate monument during riots in the city of Portsmouth, reports say.

Lucas, a Democrat, faces charges of conspiracy to commit a felony and injury to a monument in excess of $1,000, WAVY-TV reported.

The monument consists of a large obelisk and statues of four Confederate military personnel.

During protests in June, heads were ripped off some of the statues while one was pulled down. When the statue was pulled down, it fell onto and critically injured one of the rioters, local reports said.

Portsmouth Police Chief Angela Greene said during a Monday afternoon news conference that Lucas is one of several people who have warrants out against them for destroying the monument. They include a local school board member as well as members of the NAACP and the public defender’s office. more
