Expletive-Filled Political Graffiti At Fairfield Park: Police

FAIRFIELD, CT — Profane political graffiti was recently discovered in a Fairfield park, according to police.

The vandalism was reported Monday in the upper area of Tunxis Hill Park, a police report said. Among the messages spray painted on the park’s playground, bathrooms and pickleball court were: “(Expletive) Trump” and “(Expletive) the Police,” as well as “BLM,” “LGBT,” “Defund the Police,” and a profanity that was not political.

The graffiti is believed to have happened between Sunday afternoon and Monday morning, according to police. A resident playing pickleball told the responding officer there had been no vandalism at the park as of 1 p.m. Sunday. There are no cameras in the affected area of the park, police said.

The incident caused about $1,000 in damage, according to police. Public works employees have since removed the graffiti, according to Capt. Robert Kalamaras.
