A rainbow Pride crosswalk in Gananoque has been vandalized for a second time in just over a week, according to local police.
Police say they received reports of a truck spinning its tires over a recently painted Pride flag at the corner of Park and King streets just before 4 a.m. Monday.
After police put video footage of the incident on social media, a 21-year-old Lansdowne, Ont., man agreed to turn himself in, police say.

The crosswalk was recently vandalized in a similar way just over a week prior. The driver in that incident was also charged.
