An Horry County man was arrested this week for littering hate messages across a Murrells Inlet neighborhood.
Jamin Christian Fite, 47, of Myrtle Beach, was arrested on Monday and charged with two counts of littering. He was released the same day after paying a $200 fine, according to jail records.
According to police records, an officer responded to the area of Seville Drive and Adare Court in reference to a suspect they were looking for who was actively littering in the neighborhood.
Officers found Fite parked in a black 2012 Honda Civic on the corner of Adare Court and Seville Drive, records say.
Officers observed the suspect throw a clear plastic baggie out of the passenger side window and proceeded to activate blue lights.
The advocacy organization fighting antisemitism - StopAntisemitism - has attributed the antisemitic flyers to the Goyim Defense League (GDL). The league travels the country distributing these hateful flyers targeted Jewish communities.
When confronted, the officer observed “black duffle bags containing a large quantity of clear plastic baggies with paper and pellets inside,” the incident report says.
The two black duffle bags contained about 791 plastic baggies, according to the report.
The description matches the same fliers that have been found in several Horry County neighborhoods as well as across the country. Those messages were antisemitic in nature.
