Two men charged in a February incident in which the Lima synagogue was sprayed with BB gun pellets are both in jail; one is awaiting trial and the other was sentenced to 10 days in jail.

Anthony J. Berry, 19, of Lima, was sentenced to 10 days in Allen County Jail, where he was held on $50,000 bond, pending trial. On May 16, Berry was charged with two misdemeanor counts of damaging or endangering, one felony count of vandalism and one felony count of desecration. He was ordered to pay restitution in the amount of $3,152.85.

He is due to be released Oct. 20. His lawyer was Andrea L. Henning, who said she was not authorized to make statements on the part of Berry.

On May 16, Jesse J. Gibson, 31, of Lima, was charged with two counts of misdemeanor of criminal damaging or endangering, one count of felony vandalism and one count of desecration. He is being held on $50,000 bond. His case goes to jury trial Nov. 12.

Shawnee Township Police Chief Michael Keith said he could not release information about the investigation leading up to the arrests because Gibson’s case has yet to go to trial.

He said he had no reason to believe that the two were connected to white supremacy or white nationalist groups and neither Gibson nor Berry had a criminal record in Lima prior to their May 16 arrest.
