Man charged in Pa. Planned Parenthood vandalism aimed to 'instill fear'
WILKES-BARRE, Pa. - A man has been charged with breaking into a Planned Parenthood office in northeastern Pennsylvania, smashing glass doors and painting graffiti on the walls.
Thirty-nine-year-old Iain Carberry is charged in Luzerne County with burglary, criminal trespass, criminal mischief and disorderly conduct in the early morning break-in Monday at the Wilkes-Barre office.
Melissa Reed, president and CEO of Planned Parenthood Keystone, said surveillance images show a man throwing a brick through a window, then coming back an hour later with another brick and smashing other windows and painting graffiti including a biblical verse in red.

Planned Parenthood Keystone said in a statement the act was "aimed to intimidate, threaten and instill fear."
Court documents don't list a defense attorney and a working phone number for Carberry couldn't be found Wednesday.
