Nazi flag reported in Cabazon residence prompts community concern
CABAZON, Calif. (KESQ) — A Nazi flag spotted flying outside an RV home on date avenue in Cabazon has stirred concern among residents and prompted a report to law enforcement over the weekend, according to neighbors, and the man who displayed the flag.
Multiple neighbors said they noticed the red flag with a swastika symbol displayed prominently at an area near a cluster of RVs.
Matthew Adams, a member of a Cabazon community facebook group, said he first learned about the Nazi flag after receiving a text from a friend who had seen it while riding a dirt bike near Date Avenue.
“I was hanging out in my garage one night when my buddy texted me about a flag he saw,” Matthew said. “It made me mad — that doesn’t belong in Cabazon. So I made a post to alert the community.”
He described the area as a well-known spot for ATVs and dirt bikes, now shadowed by concerns over the flag and allegations of harassment.
News Channel 3 spoke with Scott Weaver, who confirmed he had been flying the Nazi flag above a cluster of RVs.
“Not everybody think it’s a German flag,” Weaver said. “The cops didn’t even know what the big deal was." he said.
Weaver denied any involvement in harassment, despite claims from residents who alleged they were chased and had guns pulled on them near the encampment.
When asked about the accusations, Weaver said, “They’re liars. Liars, liars, liars.”
He added that deputies from the Riverside County Sheriff’s Department had visited him and that he handed over the flag voluntarily. However, he said he intends to replace it.
News Channel 3 received the following email from the Riverside County Sheriff's Department regarding the flag and residence in question.
"On March 31, 2025, at 2:23 p.m., deputies responded to the area of Date Avenue, Cabazon, regarding the complaint of a Nazi flag being flown in the area. Deputies spoke with the flag owner and determined there was no crime committed. The flag's owner willingly surrendered it to law enforcement, and no further action was taken."
