FAYETTEVILLE, N.C. — A man has been arrested and is facing charges in connection with the defacing of a monument that stood near a historic black church in Fayetteville, authorities said.
Andrew Caldwell has been charged with ethnic intimidation for allegedly defacing a monument behind Evans Metropolitan AME Zion Church, located at 301 N. Cool Spring St. He was released after posting a $500 unsecured bond.
He is expected to return to court on Nov. 13.
It was not immediately clear why Caldwell targeted the church, which was built in 1893.
The church was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.
