According to police reports, a newspaper stand, a paint bucket full of sand, and pieces of concrete were used to break the plate glass windows of a Furniture World store, as well as the glass door of the local Symphony Association office. In addition, three cars parked nearby had their windshields and windows broken.

Police estimate the damage to total $7,000. The manager of Furniture World estimates that the damage to his store alone as close to $3,000. Although these acts of vandalism caused a great deal of damage, nothing was stolen. Police remain unsure of Coleman’s motive.
