The State Police say they arrested and charged a juvenile and 18-year-old Braxton Allan Miller of Charleston with arson and conspiracy, WRRF.com reported. The third perpetrator, 19-year-old James Dean Elmore of Beckley, was charged with accessory after the fact and conspiracy, the outlet reported. It’s unclear what their motives were.

• LifeChoice pregnancy center in Winter Haven, Florida, has not received news of any arrest after its building was defaced with pro-abortion graffiti June 25, according to Lyndsy Flanagan, Director of Development for LifeChoices. 

Photos from the attack show graffiti spelling out the words “Janes revenge,” “Jane was here” “Abortion 4 all,” “Your time is up,” “We’re coming for you,” “We are everywhere,” some flowers, and anarchist symbols. The vandals also painted over security cameras and the clinic’s sign. The graffiti was cleaned by volunteers and the sign was replaced by a generous donor, Director Flanagan said Wednesday.

• Two arrests were made in connection with spray-painting of pro-abortion graffiti at St. John Neumann Catholic Church in North Cape May, New Jersey, according to The Press of Atlantic City. 

One of the church’s signs was spray-painted with graffiti that said “defenestrate babies” and “Hail” with a star next to it, according to the outlet. 

Police said 33-year-old Patrick W. Rosenkrans and 36-year-old Jennifer M. Paul were arrested and charged, the outlet reported. Both are currently residents in the Villas section of Lower Township, the outlet reported.

• A suspect was arrested in a July 15 vandalism of two statues at St. Thomas the Apostle Catholic Church in Long Beach, Mississippi, the church’s parochial vicar, Father Vincent Ajayi, told CNA Wednesday. 

Ajayi told CNA the man was homeless and was saying that Catholics should not worship idols as he toppled a statue of the Blessed Virgin Mary and an angel. Ajayi and other members from the church prayed a rosary around the desecrated space and prayed for the man, he said. 

Police told CNA Wednesday the man arrested is Matthew Seis and is in his mid-40s. He is being charged with a felony of malicious mischief, police said.
