Man Arrested in Palm Beach Islamic Center Vandalism: Police

Police in North Palm Beach have arrested a man they say confessed to breaking into and vandalizing a local Islamic center.

Joshua Warren Killets, 27, was booked into jail early Saturday morning, records showed. He was being held on $1,500 bond and it was unknown if he's hired an attorney.

The Palm Beach Post reports Killets faces charges of burglary of a dwelling and damaging property at a religious center.

Police did not give details on a motive for the vandalism.

Windows were broken, furniture overturned and blood was found in parts of the religious center.

The center's president told the newspaper that he considered the incident a hate crime.
