Deanna West was part of a group charged with setting a cross on fire in front of a defaced campaign sign for Colorado Springs' first Black mayor.

Prosecutors say a photo and video of it were sent to media and civic organizations making it seem like an attack on Mayor Yemi Mobolade .

Prosecutors didn’t explain why West and the two others charged, Derrick Bernard and Ashley Blackcloud , staged the hoax.
