Deputies say at around 9:43 p.m. Friday, May 20, two men were walking down Main Street in the Village when one opened the gate and entered the synagogue property.

Investigators say they determined Hayes threw a large rock at the building, breaking a window while Bartley also threw a rock but didn’t cause any damage.

Authorities say they do not believe the building was targeted because it’s a synagogue.
