Vandals Topple Gravestone of Hillary Clinton’s Father

It’s only day three of Hillary Clinton‘s campaign, and yet: Police discovered that someone had knocked over the gravestone of her father, Hugh Rodman, in a Pennsylvania cemetery.

WYOU reports that the vandalism was discovered on Monday, the day after Clinton announced her candidacy, and that police were treating it as “suspicious”. The tombstone was later put back into place the next day.

A man was apprehended in the cemetery around the time that the headstone was found, and taken in for a mental health evaluation. Police told the station that they could not directly link him to the tombstone.

Hugh Rodham died in 1993, months after his daughter became First Lady, after a long career in business.
