DESTROYING POLITICAL SIGNS IS A CRIME UNDER NEVADA LAW

May 25, 2018

As early voting is about to start tomorrow, Army Veteran, Byron Brooks, who is running for State Senate in Michael Roberson’s seat woke up to find his A-Frame campaign signs destroyed.

According to law enforcement 360 spoke with, political campaign signs are personal property and destroying someone’s property is malicious mischief, under Nevada law, NRS 206.310. And if the destruction results in damages exceeding $5,000, the person can be charged with a C Felony.

Assemblyman KIETH PICKARD is also running in the Republican primary for Nevada State Senate Seat 20.

Byron Brooks issued the following statement today to 360 News:

“While our campaign does not have a “smoking gun” we find it odd that my opponent posted a picture of our vandalized sign on his Twitter account prior to our knowledge and our sharing of any photos of the vandalism that occurred. Our campaign is moving with great momentum and this has not deterred the communities support to send an Army Veteran outsider to Carson City.”
