A 27-year-old man is facing hate-crime charges after authorities say he broke into and vandalized an Islamic center in Florida.
The Palm Beach Post reports that authorities brought hate-crime charges against Joshua Warren Killets because he intentionally targeted The Islamic Center of Palm Beach.
The newspaper says Killets was arrested and charged last week with burglary of a dwelling and damaging property at a religious center. He was later released on $1,500 bail.
Under Florida law, the hate crime charges enhance the possible sentence to life in prison.
Jail records didn't list an attorney for Killets, and a public records search by The Associated Press didn't turn up a telephone number.
