Deputies in Florida said two doctors stole a campaign flag supporting President Donald Trump from their neighbor’s property.
Geoffrey Michael Fraiche, 41, and Laura Ann Webb-Fraiche, 38, allegedly took the flag on April 7 while their two children were with them, news outlets reported. A Santa Rosa County Sheriff’s report said they used a ladder to pull it down.
Both Fraiche and Webb-Fraiche are gynecologists working in different Pensacola hospitals, WKRG-TV reported. They were charged with several crimes, including trespassing and larceny, and released from the county jail.
Fraiche said in a text message on Wednesday that he was preparing a statement for the media, but didn't have an immediate comment.
