DALLAS -- A man broke into the Dallas Museum of Art and caused more than $5 million in damage, including smashing three ancient Greek artifacts before he was arrested, police said.
Brian Hernandez, 21, is charged with criminal mischief of more than or equal to $300,000, which is punishable by five years to life in prison. He was booked Thursday into the Dallas County jail with bond set at $100,000. Jail records list no attorney for Hernandez.
According to police, Hernandez used a metal chair to break into the museum about 9:45 p.m. Wednesday and began a destructive rampage.
He broke into a display case and smashed a 6th century B.C. Greek amphora and a Greek pot dating to 450 B.C. Police say those two items alone were worth about $5 million. Also smashed were a bowl from 6th century B.C., worth about $100,000, and a ceramic Caddo effigy bottle valued at about $10,000.

The liberal democrat director of the museum is shocked about what happened.
Life sentence to a rubber room.
“Im shocked, shocked I say”
“Round up the usual suspects”
put him in a pillory in downtown Dallas, for public shaming.
Euripides?
Usmashades?
Yep, and a few days ago someone pulled up to the Mona Lisa in a wheelchair, and smeared cake over the painting.
Doesn’t anyone in Dallas have a Helicopter to give this guy a ride in??
They have items worth millions yet someone with a metal chair can break in? Perhaps they should sell something and improve their security.
Another senseless and violent act? Who is his therapist? what drugs is he on?
Stupid woke liberals, don't realize the world they created.
Don’t forget Islam. They are all about destroying ancient treasures.
He should have been shot dead, then shot again, because evil cannot be dead enough.
Shatter proof glass? Alarm system? What a concept.
Just part of the never ending battle against Cultural Appropriations! The struggle is REAL!!
Ancient artifacts are serious business. I’m ashamed of myself for laughing at your post.
(except they should have done it on 3/14)
Giving Pie to politicians is a tradition in Europe, one that we should have here.
Sometimes even other people deserve Pie
It seems that a museum in Dallas and a school in Uvalde have the same superior airtight infallible security system.
Thankfully, there was glass to protect the Mona Lisa. I had a chance to see her but had jet lag.
Both idiots need to spend the rest of their lives in prison.
The same big oil money that bought the stuff in the first place should be able to bring in a spare chopper?
Especially treasure from Greece possibly?
