METROPOLIS – A man is facing several charges after allegedly damaging a car and breaking into a church and home in Metropolis recently.
Metropolis Police Chief Harry Masse says officers were called to the Harrah’s Casino parking lot last Wednesday and met with IGB agents who said that a car had been ransacked and damaged. The license plates were also gone.
The car’s owner was contacted and told officers it had been stolen and several items were missing and damaged from the vehicle. The car was also damaged.
The investigation led to 33-year-old Randy L. Bradley Jr. of Metropolis as the suspect.
During the course of the investigation, police learned Bradley went on a mini-crime spree.
He broke into the First Methodist Church, and another home near 5th and Scott Street. The victim from this crime had called the police and they located Bradley in the alley between 5th and 6th streets. Bradley was extremely irrational and combative. He was finally taken into custody and taken to the Massac County Detention Center.
Bradley was charged with numerous felonies including two charges of residential burglary, two charges of criminal damage to property, vehicular burglary and other misdemeanor charges.
