Police: Couple broke into church to have sex
WTSP ^ | 3/21/2008

SANDERSON, Florida — Deputies in Baker County arrested a couple caught having sex in a church. Baker County Sheriff's Deputies say they received a call about a suspicious person outside the Mount Zion Primitive Baptist Church, on the night of March 11th.

Deputies say they found a red Toyota pick-up truck and went inside the church.

"Her drawers [were] in the stands. Her brazier was over on the outside the stands," Deacon Lonzie Altman recalled from his conversation with deputies.

According to the offense report, deputies found Crystal Rowland, 24, behind the altar.

Rowland was taken into custody. She told deputies that Matthew Pearce, 28, was still inside.

Deputies found him underneath the church, partially dressed.

Red tea candles were also collected from the church. Deputies say there was splattered red wax all over the altar.

"I don't know what has become of the people [that] somebody would just do something like that in a church," said Altman.

Altman has been the deacon of the church for more than 40 years.

"I was shocked," he added.

When asked why they decided to have sex inside the church, police say Rowland told them she wanted a “spiritual and sexual experience.”

Altman says he won't judge the pair. He'll leave that to someone else.

"Don't think that the lord ain't got something for them," said Altman.

Rowland and Pearce each face charges of criminal mischief and burglary.

Pearce is also a registered sex offender. In 2002, he was convicted of a lewd act against a child under the age of 15.

He's being held on $10,000 bond. Rowland is being held on $20,000 bond.

How is his bond lower?

I could be wrong but I'm thinking drugs are involved.

When I need to find a place to play “hide the salami” I usually break into a delicatessen.

I guess there's a limit to being primitive.

He obviously hasn't heard of Pastor Wright.

I'm beginning to think they're digging beneath the barrel now to find journalists.

Apparently, a Toyota pick up truck is too small for their needs. About now, he’s wishing he’d just traded it for a Lincoln instead.

And if he didn’t want to trade it in, has he never heard of RENTING?

Merely a couple of future candidates for the Democrat party.

These folks have the Democrat values system down pat.

This guy being a sex offender needs to be neutered and she needs to be spade just in case she were to get pregnant and push out into the world another worthless Democrat to be.

These low life human garbage are what those good folks in Oklahoma call White Trash.
