A lesbian couple have filed a protection order against an Omaha man who is accused of stealing a gay pride flag from their home and setting it on fire.

Ariann Anderson and Jessica Meadows-Anderson filed the order against Cameron A. Mayfield on Monday. According to court documents, detectives told the couple that Mayfield was “making delusional claims about stalking, and suggested that he seems unstable.”

About 12:30 a.m. Sunday, police said, Mayfield stole the rainbow flag that had been hung outside the couple’s home, which is south of Hanscom Park. He left but returned a few minutes later, and had set the flag on fire. Mayfield, 23, waved the burning flag in front of the house.

Police arrested Mayfield soon after. He’s accused of arson and resisting arrest.

1. Arson and resisting arrest, put him in prison

People like this man are the most dangerous kind of bigots.

Get them off the street. Set an example. I say 20 years.

2. Sure sounds like terrorism.
