An Oklahoma man is in jail after a 26 year old woman was shot while she was reportedly leaving his property with a Nazi flag.
According to NBC News, Alexander, 44, of Hunter, Oklahoma, is accused of shooting the woman in the back several times with a rifle on Sunday. Garfield County Sheriff Jody Helm said the woman had been at a party nearby and allegedly took one of the flags displayed outside his home. Deputies found her in a ditch, and she is expected to recover, according to NBC News.
Charges And Custody
Alexander faces charges of assault and battery with a deadly weapon and shooting with intent to kill. He is being held in the Garfield County Jail on a $500,000 bail, and his next court date is July 9. The sheriff said he asked for an attorney right away and has not spoken with investigators. He has not been convicted of anything, and Baller Alert could not find a statement from him or a lawyer.
What Neighbors And The Sheriff Said
Sheriff Helm said it was unclear whether the woman was making a political statement or acting on a dare, saying there was “conflicting information.” He added that the flags had been taken before. A friend of the woman told the Enid News and Eagle the flags were “a cause for concern,” and a neighbor told a local radio station that others had pulled the flags down over the past year.
BBC News and NBC News both covered the shooting, and the case is still developing.
