California authorities investigate woman with Nazi armband

LAGUNA WOODS, Calif. (AP) — Southern California authorities say they are investigating an incident in which a woman wearing a Nazi armband allegedly threatened an elderly Jewish man. Orange County Sheriff’s Department spokesperson Jaimee Blashaw said Friday that deputies investigated the March 7 incident in which a man in his 80s said he confronted a woman wearing a red armband with a swastika in Laguna Woods. She said the woman made anti-Semitic comments and threatened the man. Blashaw says authorities asked the district attorney’s office to charge the woman with criminal threats with a hate enhancement. The Anti-Defamation League denounced the incident.
