According to Maj. David R. Thompson, tips from the community and surveillance video from businesses and homes along Midway Road and Torino Parkway helped law enforcement officers place Schreiber at the mosque. Authorities also raided Schreiber's home in the 5700 block of Northwest Zenith Drive in Port St. Lucie Wednesday. “A search warrant was obtained and a search of Schreiber’s house was conducted that revealed Schreiber owns a motorcycle consistent with the surveillance video footage,” Thompson said. “Other evidence collected also linked Schreiber to the arson.” This isn't Schreiber's first brush with the law. He was arrested in 2010 and convicted of petit theft in Martin County, and served five years. In 2007, Schreiber was sentenced to one year and six months in prison for grand theft. Because of Schreiber's criminal history, police said he qualifies as a prison release re-offender, which would would impose a 30-year minimum mandatory sentence if he's convicted. He also qualifies as a habitual felony offender, meaning he could possibly be sentenced to life in prison. An examination of Schreiber’s social media account shows many anti-Islamic posts and comments, authorities said. Police have not revealed the accelerant Schreiber used to allegedly ignite the mosque. “The men and women of the St. Lucie County Sheriff’s Office, along with our partners at the St. Lucie County Fire District, FBI, ATF, FDLE and Florida State Fire Marshal’s Office worked tirelessly on this case and we thank them for their efforts,” Thompson said. “Because of their hard work, dedication, attention to detail and commitment to serving our community, this case was solved rapidly, efficiently and effectively. We also thank the members of the community who provided tips and offered their surveillance video solidifying this case.”
