An adult woman tried to steal a 12-year-old’s Donald Trump lawn sign, according to police in Boulder, Colorado. The incident occurred on August 31, according to the city’s police blotter.

The police blotter said that the alleged theft took place at Folsom Street and Greenwood Drive, a residential area in Boulder, around 3 p.m. The woman was riding passed the boy on her moped. The boy was on a bicycle, police said. The blotter described the woman as a “20-30s W/F, riding a grey/blue moped.” The woman allegedly performed a u-turn upon noticing the sign and “began assaulting [the 12-year-old boy] because of his political banner.” Police allege that the woman tried to take the sign but was unsuccessful. At the time of the incident, police said the woman was wearing a tan jacket, blue shirt and blue jeans. The incident is still under investigation.

Boulder police spokeswoman Shannon Aulabaugh told the Boulder Daily Camera that the suspect approached the 12-year-old and said words along the lines of “you want something to look at?” Aulabaugh said that the woman then struck the 12-year-old with a closed fist several times. Aulabaugh alleged that the woman also scratched the boy.

The president’s oldest son, Donald Trump Jr., tweeted about the Boulder incident saying, “More Joe Biden voters terrorizing kids… this is becoming far too common of an occurrence. Sick.” While the official Colorado Republican Party tweeted, “This is completely UNACCEPTABLE, the unhinged left in Colorado is now going after 12-year-old supporters of President @realDonaldTrump. Colorado Democrats need to disavow this immediately.”

In October 2017, Donald Trump Jr. was denied his request to hold a political event at a Boulder restaurant named The Sink, according to the Daily Camera. During the 2016 U.S. presidential election, Hillary Clinton won Boulder County. In addition, Clinton won an overwhelming victory in the city of Boulder after receiving 80.8 percent of the vote, the Times-Call reported.
