Logan • A Utah man who authorities say vandalized a Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints temple will receive a competency evaluation before his case moves forward, a defense attorney said.
Defense attorney Mike McGinnis said he and his 34-year-old client were not prepared to move forward with the hearing and requested an evaluation, The Herald Journal reported Monday.
The Smithfield man is charged with aggravated burglary and is accused of breaking-in and vandalizing a church temple in Logan causing about $5,000 in damages including broken glass, a discharged fire extinguisher and an ax in a wall, prosecutors said.
