Fowler family claims cars vandalized over Mexican flag hanging from garage
The family believes they were targeted because of a Mexican flag hanging above their garage.

FOWLER, California -- Police say a family claims someone spray-painted "USA" on their driveway and two cars sitting in front of their home because of a Mexican flag hanging above their garage.

Jessica Silva said her son left their house around 9:30 p.m. Friday night, came back about an hour later and found the graffiti.

Silva's family said they've lived in the same city for about 13 years and is shocked that this happened to them.

So far, police do not have any leads on who committed the vandalism.
