Cuyahoga Falls resident Ryan McMullen, 30, has been arrested in connection with damage to Clifford-Shoemaker Funeral Home at 1930 Front St. and Pilgrim United Church of Christ on Broad Boulevard that occurred April 6. Windows in the rear main door of the funeral home and the building itself were smashed with a large rock, causing an estimated $400 in damage. A glass door on the south side of the church was shattered in the same manner, causing estimated damage of $200. The buildings were not entered.
