An arrest has been made in connection with vandalism at two Orange County churches last week.

Orange County Sheriff’s Office investigators have charged Brayden Tyler Swain with “numerous felonies stemming from the vandalism of the Little River Presbyterian Church and the New Bethel United Methodist Church” last Thursday.

Swain, of Person County, has been charged with offenses including breaking or entering a place of worship, injury to real property, injury to personal property and safe cracking.

Law enforcement originally said the damage to the two churches was estimated to be $20,000. Officials said nothing appeared to have been stolen. Instead, officials say “it appears that the suspect(s) only intent was to damage and destroy property at the churches.”

Swain is being held at the Orange County Detention Facility under a $5,000 bond. Swain is set to make his first appearance in District Court on Tuesday afternoon.

While Swain is in custody, authorities are asking for anyone with additional information to contact investigator Jason Nazworth at (919) 245-2925 or investigator Keith Goodwin at (919) 245-2918. Tips can also be e-mailed to websheriff@orangecountync.gov.
