The Ravenna Courthouse was vandalized Saturday morning, according to a Facebook post from the Portage County Sheriff’s Office.

Around 6 a.m., deputies found that 14 front windows had been broken and charged a 31-year-old man with vandalism, according to authorities.

The man was initially detained after a theft at a gas station, and he admitted to vandalizing the courthouse. He said his reasoning was that he was upset that psychedelics are illegal, authorities said.

He is currently being held at the Postage County Jail, awaiting arraignment.
