JACKSONVILLE, Fla — The Jacksonville Sheriff's Office has released two new photos of the man accused of stealing an excavator and driving through the glass entryway of Baptist Medical Center downtown over the weekend.
JSO said patrol officers were called to 800 Prudential Dr. Saturday, where an unknown suspect had stolen an excavator from a nearby construction site and drove through the hospital's maternity entrance, shattering the glass doorways. No one was hurt, police said.
On Monday, police released two surveillance images and asked for help from the public to identify the man pictured. He will face charges of theft and criminal mischief, according to JSO.
Witnesses told First Coast News the crash happened at the hospital's maternity entrance. Baptist Health says the excavator was stolen from a construction site across the street from the hospital.
