BATON ROUGE, La. � Police have issued an arrest warrant for a 23-year-old Louisiana State University student with dual U.S. and Colombian citizenship on charges that he cut down and burned a U.S. flag that flew 24 hours a day at the campus War Memorial, the school said Wednesday.
The warrant by LSU police accuses Isaac Eslava of two felony counts of criminal damage to property and one each of arson, theft, resisting an officer and possessing drug paraphernalia, a news release said.
Campus police Sgt. Blake A. Tabor said he does not know why the flag was cut down early Monday. "We probably will not know that until we get him back into custody, if he decides to talk," Tabor said.
An LSU flag cut down with the U.S. flag, a piece of Eslava's clothing, drug paraphernalia and red and black spray paint were found in a stolen car, according to the news release.
It said campus police found a knife that had fibers from the flag mast on it, and that someone spray-painted red and black graffiti on apartments north of campus early Monday.
Repair costs to the war memorial are estimated at $7,530 and repair costs at The Venue Apartments are estimated at $400, according to LSU.
The news release said Eslava is believed to have fled to Atlanta. He may have left there, Tabor said.
A Facebook page for Isaac Eslava Alvarado listed him as a member of LSU's Class of 2010 from Cali, Colombia. It went off line shortly after The Associated Press sent a Facebook message asking him to call or send an email.
No Baton Rouge phone listing could be located for Eslava.
