CLARKSVILLE, TN – A shocking spree of vandalism has left several churches across Clarksville, Tennessee grappling with thousands of dollars in damage, sparking an urgent police search for the culprit. Over the past few days, multiple places of worship have been targeted, leaving shattered windows and unanswered questions. Authorities are now turning to the public for help in identifying the suspect.
Multiple Churches Targeted in a Coordinated Attack
Churches spanning different denominations in areas like Memorial Extension, Sango Road, and Highway 76 became the latest victims of this crime spree. The damage, described as extensive, included broken building windows and smashed vehicle windows. Police estimate the cost of the destruction at around $9,000.
Although churches often face isolated acts of vandalism, the sheer scope and timing of these incidents have raised concerns. However, officials confirmed that, as of now, there is no indication these attacks were motivated by hate.
Surveillance Footage Could Be the Key to the Investigation
Security cameras captured the suspect driving a white, four-door vehicle, believed to be a Kia Forte.
The car had a notable detail—a broken driver-side brake light—which could be the clue investigators need to track down the perpetrator.
Joint Investigation Underway
The Clarksville Police Department and the Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office have joined forces to uncover the truth behind these incidents. Authorities are urging anyone with knowledge of the vandalism or additional video footage to step forward.
Detective LaJoie can be contacted at (931) 648-0656, ext. 5744, or Sergeant Inman with the Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office at (931) 648-0611, ext. 13414.
