An 83-year-old Mountain Brook man has been charged with leaving a threatening note on the back door of a Homewood hair salon demanding the business take down its rainbow Pride flag.

Homewood police on Wednesday announced they had obtained a misdemeanor harassing communication warrant against James Willoughby Wood. He turned himself Wednesday afternoon. Efforts to reach him for comment were not immediately successful.

The note was found last month at Salon U when owner Issam Bajalia and 11 staff members returned to Birmingham from New York City’s World Pride.

“This is not San Francisco or downtown Birmingham,” the note said in all caps. “This is Homewood which is a religious and family city. We suggest that you remove that flag before it is too late. We are concerned citizens. Good Bye.”

“We’re just very disappointed because our only crime (according to) this person is we have a rainbow flag in front of our building,” Bajalia told AL.com. “My thing is what is so offensive about a rainbow or a flag and how does this disrupt your religious journey?”

An employee took the note to the Homewood Police Department as a precaution because of its threatening nature. Homewood Sgt. John Carr said detectives reviewed video surveillance from area businesses and were able to identify Wood as the suspect. He was then picked out of a photo lineup.

Detectives have not talked to Wood to determine why he targeted the salon. His bond is set at $300.
