The Springfield Police Department is investigating a potential hate crime. KLCC’s Deonna Anderson reports.
Springfield resident Jessi Preston found a Swastika painted on the hood of her car. Preston who has biracial children says the painted symbol struck fear into her and her kids, according the SPD.
