STEVENS POINT, Wis., March 7 (UPI) — A man called police in Stevens Point, Wis., and claimed he was unsuccessful in trying to break into St. Paul’s Lutheran Church.
Officials told the Stevens Point Journal the 24-year-old caller said he needed help after trying Saturday night to bash his way through the door with a metal shovel. Police officers met the man in the church parking lot.
Police reports said the man told officers he wanted to get married at the church. Officers searched the man and said they discovered marijuana in a “prescription bottle.”
The man then reportedly showed police his house, pointing out more marijuana. He allegedly stated he was also storing stolen prescription muscle relaxants.
Police arrested the man. The paper said “tentative charges” were filed, alleging criminal property damage and possession of marijuana, drug paraphernalia and prescription drugs.
Capt. Kevin Ruder told the Journal the case is “definitely a weird one.”

WATAUGA, Texas — A 17-year-old faces a felony charge of injury to a child after police found a videotape that appears to show him and another man teaching his 2- and 5-year-old nephews to smoke marijuana, police said. The video shows two children being taught to smoke marijuana and the men encouraging them to “get high,” police said. A man can be seen placing a marijuana cigarette into a baby’s mouth and, in another part of the video, a different boy is shown smoking on his own.
“The video contains disturbing images of the young children being badgered into smoking a marijuana cigar, commonly referred to as a ‘blunt,’” according to a release from the Watauga Department of Public Safety.
The bail for Demetris McCoy, 17, was set at $150,000. He remained in jail Friday night, police said.
Police found the video Feb. 22 while investigating McCoy and Vanswan Polty, 18, in connection with some area burglaries. Polty faces burglary charges and is free on $22,000 bail, according to court records.
The children have been in the custody of Child Protective Services since last week, a spokeswoman said.
A man in Hobart, Indiana, discovered that attempting to cash a check from God is much harder than taking candy from a baby. Twenty-one-year-old Kevin Russell was arrested on February 26 after he tried to cash a check for $50,000 at the Chase Bank there that was signed, “King Savior, King of Kings, Lord of Lords, Servant,†according to Hobart police Detective Jeff White.
Russell was charged with one count of attempted check fraud and one count of intimidation, which are both felonies, and one count of resisting law enforcement, which is a misdemeanor. He could face time in the slammer.
The cops were called to the bank after Russell attempted to cash the supposedly-divine check, which was written on an invalid Bank One check with no imprint, White said. Russell had several other checks with him that were signed in the same manner but made out with different dollar amounts, including one for $100,000.
Russell struggled with police as they tried to arrest him, White said, and then threatened them as they transported him to the Hobart Police Department.
“I’ve heard about God giving out eternal life, but this is the first time I’ve heard of him giving out cash,†White said.
A court date has yet to be set for Russell. As of this writing, he is being held at the Lake County Jail on $1,000 bail. Here’s hoping that he gets the money from someone besides God.
