Two US Army Soldiers Busted For Stealing Pride Flags

Washington DC’s NBC affiliate reports:

Two soldiers assigned to the U.S. Army’s elite Old Guard were arrested and charged with stealing pride flags from a home in Arlington, Virginia, and neighbors have rallied to support the targeted couple. Beginning in September, a couple had their pride flags stolen at least five times from their home, which is just around the corner from the entrance to Joint Base Fort Myer-Henderson Hall.

Each of the thefts happened in the middle of the night, and each time, a Ring camera captured the crime. The couple posted the videos on social media. Last week, police arrested 20-year-old Matthew Henshaw, a solider assigned to the Old Guard, and charged him with three counts of bias-motivated unlawful entry and three counts of petit larceny. Police also charged 23-year-old Joseph Digregorio with one count of petit larceny.

The couple’s neighbors up and down the street have put up Pride flags of their own in solidarity. Watch the video, which includes Ring footage of the thefts.
