ST. LOUIS COUNTY, Mo. – A man faces felony charges after he allegedly threw rocks and shattered windows at a church and several other businesses in south St. Louis County earlier this week.

The St. Louis County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office has charged Jacob Abernathy, 29, of Farmington, Missouri, with institutional vandalism and first-degree property damage over the reported rock-throwing incidents.

Investigators say Abernathy was first jailed Wednesday after he was linked to throwing rocks at a church and other nearby businesses. He was then released Thursday, and later that same day, he was accused of throwing rocks at another business.

According to court documents obtained by FOX 2, someone threw rocks and shattered a window of St. Lukes Church at 2761 Telegraph Road while at least one person was inside. Surveillance video caught the incident on camera, and police identified Abernathy as a suspect. Upon his arrest, Abernathy was reportedly wearing the same clothes as seen in the church’s video.

While investigating, police also linked Abernathy to property damage at a few other businesses on Telegraph Road. When questioned by officers, Abernathy admitted to damage and was subsequently booked into jail in St. Louis County.

One day later, according to court documents, Abernathy was released from jail, and targeted a Value City at 7077 Chippewa Street. Investigators say he threw two rocks through a large front window of the business. Officers found Abernathy nearby, and he again admitted to damage, per court documents.

In both reported incidents leading to arrests, the damage reportedly exceeded $750.

Court documents state that Abernathy is linked to 11 other property damage and peace disturbance cases over the last month in St. Louis County and beyond.

Following his arrest Thursday, Abernathy was booked into a jail on a $25,000 bond. No court dates have been set over his charges yet, per Missouri online court records.
