Pair suspected of urinating on copies of Quran and Bill Clinton's autobiography at Santa Fe library
Santa Fe Public Library workers told police a man and woman who had been causing trouble at the south-side branch may have urinated on three copies of Islam’s sacred book and damaged former President Bill Clinton’s 2004 autobiography, My Life.
Library workers also suspect the couple may have taken books by conservative commentator Ann Coulter and copies of the Bible and “laid {them} around the library, as if they were placed on display for all to see,” according to a police report released Monday.
Leslie Simmons, manager of the library’s south-side branch, told police Friday the couple caused trouble when they first starting visiting March 2. Simmons told police she and another staff member found three versions of the Quran damaged “by a yellowish liquid substance.”
Video footage did not confirm the couple ever handled the books, and Santa Fe police said DNA testing on the books would be inconclusive given that countless people could have handled them.
