Police in Tuscaloosa, Alabama arrested a person in connection with a balloon-slashing incident that took place Nov. 9 during Donald Trump’s visit to a football game between the University of Alabama and Louisiana State University.
According to the authorities, 32-year-old Hoyt Deau Hutchinson was arrested and charged with first-degree criminal mischief for cutting into a “Baby Trump” balloon that protesters were using to object to the president’s visit.
The scowling, diaper-clad balloon caricature of the president, which first appeared during Trump’s first official visit to the UK in 2018, is now a regular occurrence at Trump visits around the US—so regular, in fact, that a website called “Baby Trump Tour” now rents six of them out to protesters and tracks their appearance at protests across the country.
