A man who allegedly broke into a McLennan County Courthouse January 23 in Waco, Texas, damaged an office inside and urinated over the balcony, has raised serious concerns about security.
The McLennan County chief deputy said an alarm went off, but it did not notify all of the deputies.
A county employee made the call about the break in.
Deputies said the 35-year-old suspect used a two-by-four piece of wood to bust into the courthouse just after 5 a.m.
The suspect shattered the glass on one of the doors, then broke into the mental health court services office on the second floor.
“He basically turned the office upside down by tearing up equipment to include computers, scanners, copiers, and other items throughout the office,” the chief deputy said.
The suspect also reportedly urinated over the balcony onto the bottom of the rotunda.
Waco police arrested the suspect shortly after he left the courthouse when they caught him urinating in public.
He is charged with disorderly conduct, and burglary of a building.
