A woman was arrested on Thursday after she took down an American flag and placed it on the muddy ground at a California park, replacing it with a Mexican flag. 

Kern County deputies responded to the entrance of Hart Memorial Park in Bakersfield on Thursday morning after receiving reports of someone trying to steal the U.S. flag, the sheriff’s office said in a social media post. 

When park rangers arrived, they found a vehicle on the grass near a flag pole, authorities said.

“Touch me, motherf—–, and when your kids die,” she is heard saying. “I’m Mexican. I’m Aztec, motherf—–, and you’re going to pay.”

“My dad is going to kill you and all your family,” she added. “I’m going to let my father kill you.”

Aguilar was arrested and booked into the Lerdo jail on suspicion of trespassing, threatening a peace officer, resisting arrest and vandalism. She is being held on $20,689 bail, according to jail records.
