INEZ, Ky. — Two more people have been arrested for their part in the destruction of a Martin County religious display.
Police say Brian Keith Robinette, 21, and Alexandra Danielle Riddle, 20, both of Wellington, were arrested last Friday, after Devin Morris, 24, of Inez, was arrested earlier in the week.
All three are charged with trespassing. Morris and Robinette are also charged with willfully setting fire to land owned by others and desecration of venerated objects, while Riddle is charged with complicity to those same charges.
Police say the three were on walking on the God’s Promise Trail in Inez June 7, when they set fire to a prayer altar. Morris is also accused of climbing a radio tower to take a mounted camera and throwing over the hill, for which he was also charged with criminal mischief.
Court records say that Robinette and Riddle each confessed to their roles in the incident, with each blaming alcohol for the stunts.
The fire setting charge is a felony, punishable by 1-to-5 years in prison. All the remaining charges are misdemeanors.
