Associated Press reports.The Lake Worth native drove with about 30 other vehicles in the pro-Trump rally in Delray Beach.In a viral video, a white pickup truck featuring Trump flags is shown burning its tires into the painted road at an intersection in the city.
The truck was registered to Jerich’s father, according to the AP. “By pleading guilty, Jerich has avoided a very public trial for the hate crime he committed,” Rand Hoch, the president of the Palm Beach County Human Rights Council (PBCHRC) and a retired judge, said in an email statement to South Florida Gay News. “It would have been impossible for Jerich to avoid being found guilty in light of the video that captured his crime.”The streetscape had been painted in honor of Pride Month and had been unveiled only a day before the rally.
