Church video captures woman toppling 15-foot crucifix on altar

A woman has been arrested by Northern California cops, who say she knocked over a 15-foot crucifix in an act of vandalism caught on video.

Watsonville Police said surveillance footage shows 23-year-old Jackeline Chavira walking into St. Patrick’s Church Wednesday, heading to the altar and pushing over the crucifix after checking to see that no was watching.

Chavira, 23, then went next door and damaged a statue and artwork in a prayer room where two parishioners were praying, police said.

Watsonville police posted video of the crucifix being vandalized on Facebook where it was viewed 18,000 times within hours, The Fresno Bee reported.

“So sad that a sacred place where you go to worship and have quiet prayer will now more than likely be closed during the day,” who left a comment after viewing the video. “Rotten choices other people have made, ruins it for us all.”

Cops accused Chavira, 23, of vandalizing the church during a 40-minute crime spree.

The vandalism at St. Patrick’s caused $15,000 in damage, police said.

Chavira was being held at the Santa Cruz County Jail Thursday after being booked on several charges. Her bail was set at $25,000.

I predict she will spend a few days in jail, pay a small fine, and be “punished” with probation if this is the first crime she has gotten caught for.

Dreamer? I don’t know. It sure seems she’s closer to the nightmare end of the spectrum.

She has seen others toppling sacred monuments on television and she thought something like this might get her invited to a future State of the Union address by the House Speaker.

after checking to see that no was watching.

What a maroon. ;). FIRST of all...it’s a church...and God is always watching anyway. Next..it’s 2019..and California. Security cameras are as common as the 2nd coat of paint.

“Incomplete dentition means missing teeth”.

Thanks, when I read it I read it as “incomplete detention”.

I found out what it means. I asked you what it meant because I read it as “incomplete detention”.
