The man who drove his car into the Oklahoma 10 Commandments monument was a devout Christian suffering from mental illness and in need of medication.

Michael Reed is accused of running his car into the controversial 10 Commandments monument located outside of the Oklahoma statehouse Thursday night, destroying the 6-foot-tall granite tablet in the process.

Secret Service officials said that when they interviewed Reed, he indicated that Satan had told him to destroy the monument. He also said that he wanted to kill President Barack Obama and spit on a photo of Obama. The suspect also admitted that he urinated on the Ten Commandments monument before running it over.

In addition, Reed confessed to Secret Service agents that he had been diagnosed with Bipolar and was currently off his medication.

Reed’s mother, Crystal Tucker, told KOCO that her son is a practicing Christian, and that:

“he would never deface something that meant so much to him. He takes the Ten Commandments very seriously. He has been very Christian his entire adult life.”

Reed has been charged with a felony count of destruction of state property/improvements, a felony count of indecent exposure, a misdemeanor count of making threatening statements, reckless driving, and operating a vehicle with a revoked license.

Reed was also charged with four counts of felony assault and battery with a dangerous weapon, which stemmed from incidents that occurred during his initial emergency order of detention on Friday, according to the OHP.

Oklahoma Governor Mary Fallin, a Republican, said the 10 Commandments monument will be rebuilt:

“This monument was built to memorialize the historical significance of the Ten Commandments in guiding our own laws and lives.”

The monument went up in 2012.

The American Civil Liberties Union has sued to have the monument removed on the grounds that it violates the constitutional separation between church and state.
