David Rangel, 41, of Hoschton, was arrested after vandalizing four churches in the Buford area, according to the Gwinnett County Police Department.
According to the Gwinnett County Sheriff’s Office jail logs, Rangel was booked at 9:35 p.m. on July 9. He has been charged with four counts of vandalism to a place of worship, criminal damage to property in the second degree and four counts of possession of tools for the commission of a crime.
According to the jail logs, Rangel’s bond is set at $85,500.
A report by Atlanta News First, which obtained arrest warrants from the sheriff’s department, Rangel used a ratchet to smash windows at two 12Stone Church locations — Hamilton Mill and Buford — along with Victory Church and Zion Hill Baptist Church.
The North Gwinnett Voice obtained a video from the Gwinnett County Police Department from surveillance cameras.
Rangel emerged from a white vehicle.
“He never gave a specific reason … or any logical reason that I’m aware of,” Cpt. Juan Madiedo told FOX 5 Atlanta. “This all points to a random act at this time.”
Rangel remains in custody as of July 12.
