A judge will determine whether aggravating factors exist ahead of sentencing for a man arrested as he exited a vandalized Kodiak church.
The Kodiak Daily Mirror reports (http://bit.ly/1KxaHh8) 22-year-old Arkimedes Garcia pleaded guilty Tuesday to a single criminal mischief charge related to the damage at Holy Resurrection Russian Orthodox Cathedral.
Charges including burglary were dropped.
Garcia was arrested June 10 as he exited the church, where doors, windows and religious items were damaged, broken or disturbed.
A trial next week will determine whether aggravating factors exist. Garcia’s sentencing has yet to be scheduled.
