A Florida man has been arrested after a rampage took place that caused thousands of dollars in damage to a church.
Timothy Bornman, 24, of Palm Bay was arrested Sunday evening after a break-in at Mission Church in Palm Bay, according to WESH-TV.
Police said the incident began when a shed at the back of the church was broken into.
A sledgehammer that was retrieved from the shed was then used to smash the front door of the church.
The suspect then began “to damage everything in sight,” a police affidavit said,
Police estimated that more than $10,000 worth of damage was done.
When officers responded, a man was walking around the church’s parking lot, “yelling and cussing” at churchgoers, the affidavit said, according to WRBW-TV.
“I’m going to f*** you up,” Bornman told an approaching police officer.
The suspect ignored the policeman’s commands and instead swung a metal Stanley cup at the officer’s head. The officer was able to move his head out of the way, but was hit on the shoulder.
At that point, police said the suspect tried to flee, but police deployed a Taser.
A brief struggle took place as the suspect was apprehended.

Bornman later admitted he broke into the church, the affidavit said, according to WESH. Bornman told officers the church “stole everything from him.”
The suspect faces charges of resisting officers with violence, burglary to an unoccupied structure, criminal mischief in a place of worship and battery on a law enforcement officer.
Bornman was locked up in Brevard County Jail after a trip to a local hospital.
Jesse Ostrander, pastor of Mission Church, said Bornman “was clearly disturbed. We are praying for his health and mental well-being.”
“As far as the building goes, it is just stuff. God will make a way and it will be repaired or replaced,” Ostrander said.
A Note from Our Deputy Managing Editor:
I heard a chilling comment the other day: “We don’t even know if an election will be held in 2024.”
That wasn’t said by a conspiracy theorist or a doomsday prophet. No, former U.S. national security advisor Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn said that to the founder of The Western Journal, Floyd Brown.
Gen. Flynn’s warning means that the 2024 election is the most important election for every single living American. If we lose this one to the wealthy elites who hate us, hate God, and hate what America stands for, we can only assume that 248 years of American history and the values we hold dear to our hearts may soon vanish.
The end game is here, and as Benjamin Franklin said, “We must all hang together, or assuredly we shall all hang separately.”
All of this means that without you, it’s over. We have the platform, the journalists, and the experience to fight back hard, but Big Tech is strangling us through advertising blacklists, shadow bans, and algorithms. Did you know that we’ve been blacklisted by 90% of advertisers? Without direct support from you, our readers, we can’t continue the fight.
Can we count on your support? It may not seem like much, but a Western Journal Membership can make all the difference in the world because when you support us directly, you cut Big Tech out of the picture. They lose control.
A monthly Western Journal Membership costs less than one coffee and breakfast sandwich each month, and it gets you access to ALL of our content — news, commentary, and premium articles. You’ll experience a radically reduced number of ads, and most importantly you will be vitally supporting the fight for America’s soul in 2024.
We are literally counting on you because without our members, The Western Journal would cease to exist. Will you join us in the fight?
Sincerely,
Josh Manning
Deputy Managing Editor
