Iowa Transgender woman's car vandalized

[47of74]

A hate crime took place in Iowa.

The Linn County Sheriff's Office is trying to figure out who painted what looks like hate speech on a transgender woman's car in Alburnett.

Deputies are investigating it as a possible hate crime. Sheriff Brian Gardner said that might be tough to officially determine. Authorities would likely need to talk to a suspect and discover the motive behind the graffiti.

If confirmed, the sheriff believes it would be the first Linn County hate crime in recent memory.

The incident happened around 11, Friday night. Alyssa Eve was watching TV when she heard loud pounding on her windows. Scared, she called her mom and then headed outside to see what was going on.
