CWN Editor's Note: A 42-year-old homeless woman was arrested for beheading an outdoor statue of Christ at a parish in East Islip, New York.
A police detective “stressed that the vandalism did not turn out to be a hate crime, but more of a random act committed by a woman who will now receive mental health services,” Greater Long Island Media Group reported.
