Police in Connecticut this week arrested a Nashville-area man after they say he burglarized a church in a hate crime.

According to the Milford Police Department, 30-year-old Charles Yarbrough broke into Mary Taylor Church in Milford on Monday and destroyed a portion of the building. Yarbrough is homeless and transient, said Lt. Brian Rojee of MPD, but his last known address was on Ashlawn Place in Brentwood.

According to a Milford police news release, officers arrested him shortly after the reported crime.

He is charged with third-degree burglary, third-degree criminal mischief and a hate crime, according to the news release.

In an interview with officers, Yarbrough said he damaged an office door because he believed the pastor and the church were supporting an LGBT agenda, the release continued.

Rojee said officials are continuing to investigate the incident. As of Tuesday, Yarbrough was being held on a $50,000 bond.
