A Smithville man who allegedly posted blasphemous notes on several local churches faces new charges.
Laddie Bill Jerrells, 57, charged with 24 counts of vandalism, disorderly conduct, harassment, and desecration of honored places on July 5, faces two more counts each on the same charges. Jerrells posted bond on the original charges, but was arrested again on July 12 on the new charges.
According to Sheriff Patrick Ray, representatives from yet another church came forward after the first charges were revealed, reporting that someone had taped similar notes to the front door of their church building on May 30 and July 3.
His bond on the new charges is $12,000, and his court date is July 20.
