JENNINGS, Mo. (AP) - A St. Louis County man has been charged in vandalism that occurred at more than a dozen businesses in Jennings, including churches and nonprofits.
David Jackson, 40, was charged Thursday with one count of first-degree property damage. He was not yet in custody on Friday.
The first incident was reported Dec. 10 after video captured someone throwing bricks through the windows of Noah’s Ark Church.
Police have investigated at least 15 other incidents in Jennings and at least two in a nearby jurisdiction, police spokesman Sgt. Benjamin Granda said in a news release Friday.
Granda said a relative of Jackson’s identified him as a possible suspect.
Earlier this month, police said the suspect threw concrete through windows or used a hammer. None of the buildings were burglarized and destruction of property seemed to be the only motive, police said.
