Release:

On 07/01/2020, the Ogden Police Department received 8 reports related to incidents of

property damage occurring overnight. The incidents were closely related in physical
proximity, clustered between 2nd St & 7th St, in the neighborhoods west of Wall Ave. The
damaged property consisted of several burned American flags, a burned “Thin Blue Line”
themed flag and a burned politically themed flag. There were several instances where other
personal property sustained minor damage due to the closeness of the burning flags. Two
of the reports were related to tagging-type graffiti consisting of a star shape and/or the
word “Boomin” in blue paint.

Through social media and other investigative leads, officers were able to identify two
suspects in the case and developed probable cause for their arrest. They are identified as
18-year-old Hunter Hinds and 19-year-old Bryan Nava of Ogden. Both individuals were
booked into the Weber County Jail on a number of property crime related charges.

The Ogden Police Department is requesting community assistance in this case. If you were
the victim of a similar crime during the overnight hours spanning 06/30/2020 to 07/01/2020
and have not made a police report, please call the Weber Area Dispatch non-emergency
number (801) 395-8221 to start that process. Additionally, if you reside in the geographical
area where these incidents occurred (see attached map), we are asking for you to review
any personal video sources that could assist us in this case. If you have video evidence that
you would be willing to share, please contact the Investigations Bureau at (801) 629-8228.
