PHOENIX — Police say a man has been arrested for allegedly damaging a historical site in Phoenix.
On Saturday, May 20, an unknown person forced their way onto the Tovrea Castle property, damaging the basement doors and a historical exhibit.
A fire extinguisher was also stolen.
Officials say a 46-year-old man was arrested on June 1 in connection to the incident.
The man was already in jail for an unrelated incident, according to police.
The man was re-arrested for the additional charges of burglary and felony criminal damage.
The total estimated damage was originally evaluated to be $90,000, but Phoenix police have since said the damage was valued at about $50,000.
It is the second incident at the historical property in the past few weeks, according to Silent Witness.
