The Ravenna Courthouse was vandalized Saturday morning, according to a Facebook post from the Portage County Sheriff’s Office.
Around 6 a.m., deputies found that 14 front windows had been broken and charged a 31-year-old man with vandalism, according to authorities.
The man was initially detained after a theft at a gas station, and he admitted to vandalizing the courthouse. He said his reasoning was that he was upset that psychedelics are illegal, authorities said.Watch live and local news any time: Good Morning Cleveland Sunday at 8 Download the News 5 Cleveland app now for more stories from us, plus alerts on major news, the latest weather forecast, traffic information and much more.
