DOJ v. Dalton Ray Mullis

Dalton Ray Mullis allegedly intentionally defaced multiple buildings within a Charlotte complex used by the Jewish community for religious worship, education, and community activities. According to allegations contained in the affidavit, Mullis traveled to the Jewish Community Center (JCC) located within the Foundation of Shalom Park complex and defaced multiple buildings on the property, including the Charlotte Jewish Day School (CJDS), the Holocaust Memorial, and an employee building, by affixing threatening, antisemitic flyers. The flyers depicted a noose, a swastika, and a Totenkopf or "death's head." It is further alleged that Mullis sprayed one of the entrances to the CJDS with what appears to be an adhesive spray and placed the antisemitic flyer onto the door. Charging documents also allege that between January and April 2026, Mullis posted antisemitic messages and imagery on multiple social media sites.
