MIAMI – A 26-year-old Black man was charged with vandalism for allegedly damaging property at the Dr. Martin Luther King Center in Atlanta.

According to Black Enterprise News, Brent Jones is accused of breaking the ‘Eternal Flame’ Site and the monument, holding the tomb of King and his wife, Coretta Scott King, where the famed civil rights leader grew up.

Police arrested Jones who’s charged with public indecency, trespassing, criminal damage and obstruction.

The King Center released a statement on the act of vandalism, calling it a “minor incident” that will not thwart its effort to spread King’s message of peace and tolerance.
