REXBURG, Idaho — The Rexburg Police Department is investigating an incident of vandalism that occurred prior to this weekend on a property owned by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Idaho.
According to police reports, an outbuilding belonging to the church in the 2300 West block of 2000 South was vandalized with the words “F— Trump” spray painted in green.
