Law enforcement has arrested a suspect who may have vandalized as many as six churches over the past month. Two of those instances happened in Cass County Jan. 7 in the Hughes Springs-Avinger area.
Friday, Hughes Springs Police Chief Randy Kennedy said that a suspect has been arrested. He did not release the person’s name, but said that an old-style hockey mask worn in surveillance video was a clue that led to the arrest.
Security video showed a suspect apparently vandalizing the inside of the Missionary Baptist Church in Hughes Springs. According to the time stamp on the Missionary Baptist Church video, he was there for almost six hours, ransacking offices and breaking into a vending machine. Not only was there vandalism and destruction of property, the suspect stole money that was set aside to help with funeral expenses for a church member.
Kennedy said this incident brought other break-ins to light.
Five miles down the road investigators believe the same suspect did the same thing at Turkey Creek Baptist Church, among others.
Can we have a “state” for $1,000, Alex?
Texas. Please check the key words. It’s there.
Wrong state.
Jason Voorhees operated around New Jersey.
Leatherface operated out of Texas.
Nick. One of the first rules of writing a story is that you put all the pertinent “Who, What, WHERE, When and Why” in the first paragraph so as to keep the readers attention.
Just a lazy writer or pisspoor journalism.
That's why he got caught. Not many ice rinks in the Atlanta/Carterville/Marietta area - of Texas. Guy with a hockey mask sticks out in deep east Texas.
So...who was arrested? Who is the suspect?
