Anthony Burrus, 27, was arrested in connection with the incident that took place in Central Park at around 6 a.m., according to Henderson Police Public Information Officer Jennifer Richmond. Roughly 160 crosses were knocked down and about 20 were destroyed.
The display in Central Park contains more than 5,000 crosses, each bearing the name of a Henderson resident who served in the military.
The vehicle Burrus was driving, a 1979 Ford Thunderbird, was found with pieces of a cross and ground stake embedded in the tires after he left it at the McDonald's restaurant on South Green Street. Richmond said Burrus denied causing the damage in the park, but confirmed he had been driving the vehicle and left it after it stopped working.

I'm hoping that the judge in this case can get very creative on the punishment for this.
Something that would open his eyes to what he did.
How about a meeting with Gold Star mothers and their families?
Bury him.
No good sob. He should be "caned" with a bamboo stick. Any volunteers?
