Charles Jeffrey Short was arrested after he confessed to beheading the statue in front of a church.
This was the second decapitation of a statue of Christ at the church in less than a week. Sometime late Thursday night or early Friday morning, someone hammered off the heads and some hands of a statue of Christ and a child. Around 5:45 a.m. on Sunday morning, alert parishioners noticed that the head had been removed from another statue on the grounds and immediately contacted police. When they arrived, they found Charles Jeffrey Short walking away from the scene
The officer arrested Short and attempted to explain to him that he had the right to remain silent, but Short insisted on explaining why he had desecrated the statues. According to the police report, Short claimed he had decapitated the Christ statues because the Second or First Commandment forbids making an image of a male or female to be on display in public.
