SACRAMENTO, Calif. — A Sacramento man has been arrested in connection with a series of antisemitic vandalism incidents that occurred in the city last year, authorities announced.

Police said 19-year-old Feyd Hayden Pounds was taken into custody Tuesday after investigators linked him to two separate incidents in which swastikas were placed on private property in the Elmhurst neighborhood near the UC Davis Medical Center.

In July 2025, the Sacramento Police Department was made aware of two vandalism incidents that occurred in the 4600 block of U St. The vandalisms included the use of swastikas and were determined to be bias-motivated, with the apparent intent to intimidate or terrorize individuals… pic.twitter.com/IhRCkZJrot

According to law enforcement officials, the vandalism was determined to be motivated by bias against Jews. Investigators said evidence gathered during the case included social media activity allegedly containing antisemitic rhetoric, as well as statements that appeared to connect the suspect to the vandalism.

Pounds was booked into the Sacramento County jail and faces a felony hate-crime-related charge involving the display of a hate symbol on private property, along with a misdemeanor civil rights violation charge.

Authorities said the incidents were originally reported in the summer of 2025 and remained under investigation for several months before an arrest warrant was obtained.

Court records indicate Pounds is expected to make his initial appearance in Sacramento Superior Court on Thursday.

Police encouraged anyone with additional information about the case to contact investigators.
