LITTLE ROCK, Arkansas (Fox 32 News) - Donations to replace a smashed 10 Commandments monument have topped $80,000.

The six-foot granite tablets had just been erected on the Arkansas state capitol grounds last month. The next day, Little Rock Police say that Michael Tate Reed deliberately drove his car into the monuments. He also damaged a similar monument in 2014 in Oklahoma.

The producers of the "God's Not Dead" series donated $25,000 to the state of Arkansas to have the monument replaced.
