In January 2024, a group was protesting an event at a synagogue in Phoenix. Surveillance video showed Karlovsky and a man, Bryan Long, defacing cars while walking up and down the street. They scratched derogatory messages into some of the cars such as “murderer” and “rapist,” along with the Star of David. Altogether more than ten cars were vandalized, causing nearly $45,000 in damage.
Karlovsky pleaded guilty to one count of Criminal Damage, a Class Four Felony. She was sentenced to 18 months of supervised probation.
In December, Long was sentenced to 12 months of supervised probation after pleading guilty to one count of Criminal Damage.
“We’re lucky to live in a country where we’re free to disagree and hold different beliefs. But when those differences lead someone to cross over into breaking the law, they will be held accountable,” said Maricopa County Attorney Rachel Mitchell.
