Facebook Post Leads to Arrest34-year-old Daniel Frazen was arrested and charged with Attempting to Incite Terrorism, a Class 3 Felony.
On April 6, 2020, at 7:53pm, the Page Police Department was made aware of a volatile Facebook post that appeared to have been published by a Page resident. The post was threatening in nature and directed toward Navajo community members due to the suspect’s stated belief that all “Navajo” are infected with COVID-19. An investigation was immediately opened, and the suspect was identified as 34-year-old Daniel Franzen of Page, AZ. Franzen was arrested shortly after having made the unlawful social media post and booked into the Coconino County Jail for attempting to incite an act of terrorism, a class 3 felony.
The Page Police Department recognizes the alarming nature of this incident and shares the justified concern this behavior has caused the Navajo community, and others. The police department wishes to remind community members that unlawful hate speech, especially that which singles out protected classes (race, religion, gender, etc.), will be aggressively investigated and violations will be prosecuted to the fullest extent possible. Additionally, threats toward Franzen, as well as other retaliatory measures will be investigated in a like manner.
Shi Dine'e, be aware of your surroundings. There are many racist people in our bordertowns who want to harm and destroy the Navajo People and destroy the Navajo way of life. I hope Frazen gets the max. There's no room for racism in Page.
