One of the suspects involved in vandalism at the Christopher Columbus statue in Elmwood Avenue is a teacher at Pawtucket Public Schools who is now out on leave pending an investigation, according to the superintendent.

Derrick Garforth, 34, was charged with desecration of grave/monument, which is a felony.

Superintendent of the Pawtucket School Department, Dr. Cheryl McWilliams, told ABC6 News, “I have just learned about this and the School Department is investigating it.”

Around 1:30 a.m.,  on Saturday morning detectives noticed a man and woman getting out of a car and running across Elmwood Avenue towards Columbus square. The two began to splatter paint on the boarded up monument, according to police.

Both then fled across Elmwood Avenue towards Lexington Avenue.

Detectives saw both suspects enter the rear lot of the Feinstein School heading towards Ontario St. Detectives quickly drove to Ontario Street and were able to catch up to both suspects as they exited the lot.

“on leave”

libtards protect their own, he’s not fired

they just wait a bit and bring them back later

write a tweet critical of blm terrorists and you’re fired immediately.

people need to demand he gets fired right away.

Looks more like a homeless person rather than a ‘teacher’.

This is Pawtucket, Rhode Island for anyone interested. Wasn't very clear in the article.

Been there many times, as it's the home of the AAA affiliate of the Boston Red Sox (The Pawtucket Red Sox). Seems like kind of a middle class to poor working class town.

And throwing paint? What is he, 10 years old?

In a perfect world 3 Gambino soldiers would have happened to be parked next to the statue and seen these 2 throwing paint on the Columbus statue.

One can fantasize

According to LinkedIn, he is a social studies teacher, so I can only guess what he has been teaching. What a wonderful example for all of those fine young heads full of mush.

“According to LinkedIn, he is a social studies teacher,”

I think I see the problem.

If one digs just under the surface, one would find that...

The goons and looters and protesters and home-made terrorists, including those leading BLM and Antifa....

Were all taught/trained by the left-leaning education system, so, it’s no surprise that one of their mentors (aka:teacher) was helping them with their anti-American rhetoric and destruction. If one digs not much deeper, one would find that, those teachers in the left-leaning education systems, were all supported by the democratic party and the left-wing media.

America’s enemies are embedded a lot deeper than most Americans suspect.

Does that mean someone in government is finally fighting back?

He looks like a freakin’ Neanderthal. Probably a pervert too. Wouldn’t want my kids being taught by him.
