Arrest Made For Racist, Anti-Semitic Graffiti At Peninsula School

BURLINGAME, CA — Police have arrested a 20-year-old Burlingame man who allegedly vandalized Burlingame High School with anti-Semitic, homophobic and racist graffiti last month.

Police arrested Logan Stone on Thursday afternoon at his home in Burlingame, in connection with the graffiti that appeared throughout the school's campus in the early morning hours of Sept. 5.

The vandalism caused about $1,300 in damage "and incalculable trauma to the students and the Burlingame community," police said in a news release Thursday. The graffiti contained swastikas, racial slurs and anarchist symbols, the Burlingame B student newspaper reported.

Stone is being held in San Mateo County Jail on charges of felony vandalism and hate crimes.

“The San Mateo Union High School District is deeply appreciative of the Burlingame Police Department for their work in apprehending a suspect in this case,” said district Superintendent Kevin Skelly.
