Watertown, SD – At least 50 antisemitic flyers have been recovered by the Watertown Police Department and more than double that total have been found by citizens in town since Monday morning, according to information from police.
On Monday, the Watertown Police Department shared on their Facebook page that they’ve been receiving reports that citizens have discovered antisemitic flyers attached to bags on rice across the city.
Patrol Sgt. Scott Price of the Watertown Police Department said that this is the first time he has ever encountered anything like this in Watertown.
Depending on what is learned, violators could be charged with littering or a possible hate crime, Price said. There were no suspects as of Tuesday morning.
“This was unexpected and very much out of the blue. There are no notes (on the flyer) indicating who was responsible or what the purpose of this is,” he said.
