Police have arrested a man accused of vandalizing Veterans Memorial in a Wallingford park last week.
The memorial in Dutton Park was vandalized on both June 8 and 9, according to police.
Photos posted on Facebook showed a swastika and profanity spray-painted on the memorial. A second photo showed the word "Die" written on the memorial in spray paint.
On Monday afternoon, police said they arrested 29-year-old Maxx Frisco, of Wallingford, for vandalizing the park on both occasions.
