U.S. attorney joins investigation into Princeton vandalism

PRINCETON, W.Va. — U.S. Attorney Booth Goodwin said Friday his office is aggressively pursuing those responsible for vandalism at the Islamic Center of the Appalachian Region in Princeton.

Goodwin said in a statement that vandalism at any place of worship “violates our country’s most sacred values.”

Goodwin and the FBI have joined the Mercer County Sheriff’s Department in the probe.

Sheriff’s investigators have said anti-Islamic slurs were spray-painted on the center either Sunday or Monday.
