Nude Iowa woman arrested after stealing American flags, burning them: Police
While burning American flags is protected under the First Amendment, Brianna Laird was charged with third degree arson, assault and indecent exposure.

Another certified "Murica" moment
And I can already picture @AsakangaHalo asking "is this normal in USA?"
Sounds more like a story out of Florida or even Louisiana rather than Iowa, known as a more rural and "quiet" StateA southern Iowa woman is facing charges after authorities say she took her clothes off, stole American flags and set them on fire this month.
Brianna Laird, 21, is facing charges after a caller said she burned stolen American flags on June 16, per court documents obtained by USA TODAY.
While burning American flags is protected under the First Amendment, Laird was charged with third-degree arson, assault on an officer, indecent exposure, interference with official acts, fifth-degree criminal mischief, possession of drug paraphernalia and fifth-degree theft, per online court records.
Least-aggressive foidShe gave police a fake name and when deputies tried to arrest her, she hit one of them in the face, the documents said.
Not much of a surpriseWhen she arrived at the jail, authorities searched Laird's bag and found drug paraphernalia inside, the court documents say.
