On Saturday October 28, 2017, at approximately 7:30 am, Twin Falls Police Officers were dispatched to the Twin Falls Islamic Center reference to a report of malicious harassment. 

According to a press release from the City of Twin Falls, officers were shown to the northwest corner of the parking lot, where they found a cross made out of wooden sticks that was wrapped in bacon.  The cross had pig feet and a pig’s tongue attached to it.  No property damage was reported.  The investigation is ongoing and no arrests have been made at this point.
