MONTGOMERY COUNTY, Tenn. (WKRN) — Two law enforcement agencies are investigating vandalism incidents reported at multiple churches in Montgomery County over the past few days.
According to the Clarksville Police Department (CPD), churches of different denominations in the Memorial Extension, Sango Road, and Highway 76 areas have reported damage — including broken windows on vehicles and buildings — worth an estimated total of $9,000.
The CPD said it’s working with the Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office (MCSO) to investigate the incidents, but as of Saturday, Feb. 1, authorities do not believe they were hate crimes.
Officials said surveillance footage showed the suspect driving a white, four-door vehicle — believed to be a Kia Forte — with a malfunctioning brake light on the driver’s side.
