Porcelain statues aren't great for breaking down doors

The husband walked up to the door and looked through the peephole, according to a Sheriff’s Office arrest report.
A man with a scruffy beard stood at the door.
The husband told the man he was at the wrong apartment, and asked him to go away.
Instead, the man picked up a white porcelain egret statute that sits in the entryway, and slammed it into the bottom of the door.
The husband was afraid the man would break in, but instead he left through a stairwell.
The husband and wife stepped outside, and the statue was broken. The front door was cracked.
The wife walked over to a neighbor’s apartment and was explaining what happened when the scruffy man came back up the stairwell and tried to get into the neighbor’s apartment.
The neighbor’s son cam e to the door to see what was going on, and the scruffy man turned and left.
When deputies arrived, they found a man matching the suspect’s description walking near the stairs of the apartment building, according to the report
They detained him, and all of the victims and witnesses identified him as the man they’d seen trying to break into the apartments.
The man had no identification with him. He gave deputies his name and said he’d recently moved from New York, but couldn’t explain why he’d tried to enter the homes, and refused to answer other questions without an attorney, according to the report.
Deputies arrested him on charges of two counts of attempted burglary of an occupied dwelling and one count of criminal mischief, and took him to the Flagler County jail.
