ROOSEVELT — A man responsible for teaching religious education classes to LDS high school students is facing criminal charges after investigators say he burglarized a home on a Sunday afternoon to steal prescription painkillers.
Brian Dean Thacker was charged Wednesday in 8th District Court with burglary, a second-degree felony, theft, a class B misdemeanor, and possession of a controlled substance, a class B misdemeanor.
On May 26, Thacker entered a home about 2 p.m. and took Lortab from a medicine cabinet, according to Duchesne County sheriff's detective Dela Rowley.
A woman was upstairs in the home at the time and heard Thacker moving around downstairs, Rowley said. She waited until Thacker left and then looked out the window and recognized him, the detective said.
Thacker, 42, was interviewed after the incident was reported to the sheriff's office. He corroborated the woman's account of what happened and admitted to taking Lortab from the home, Rowley said.
Thacker served as The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints seminary teacher for Union High School during the 2012-13 academic year. Prior to that, he was the seminary teacher for LDS students at Altamont High School.
"The church expects the highest level of conduct from its seminary teachers," LDS Church spokeswoman Ruth Todd said. "Brian Thacker is on administrative leave."
So far investigators do not believe Thacker was using prescription painkillers while teaching seminary classes or soliciting medication from his students, Rowley said.
Thacker has entered an inpatient drug treatment program. His first court appearance is set for June 27.
I wonder how many of our FR Mormons actually follow the above MORMON Scripture?
Especially #12-13 in the summertime?
Is that true or did you mean Muslims?
I am confident in my faith, and consider it a sin to weaken another's Christian faith. Hence, my interest in defending my Christian brothers, the Mormons.
Women of intemperate minds cannot be free. Their passions forge their fetters.
I am enjoying this conversation. Please....please, mind your temper.
(Mormonism used to say them darn ol’ injuns killed them folks!)
There were no Moslems at the Mountain Meadows Massacre, southern Utah territory, Sept 11, 1857
Just Mormons and their 120 unarmed Christian victims
however the Mormons did act just like Moslems
is that what you mean ???
AMEN!!

PING to #64
Wow. And you vote, don't you?
Thank you for the conversation.
I hope you & yours enjoy a safe weekend. Good evening.
This is the Religion Forum and this is a discussion about mormonISM pretty sure that’s the attraction.
I really do not know what your point here is.
mormons, Do a search there are dozens of history sites that talk about the slaughter.
mormonism is not Christianity, and if you knew about mormonism you would know that.
To defend my Christian brothers.
I know enough about my Christian faith to know they are Christian as well.
Do you now intend to demean and weaken my faith?

That is not true. We believe that the Blood of Jesus saves us from our sins. He suffered and died to save us. It washes white as snow. We call His sacrifice “the Atonement” for our sins. God bless.
Yes, it read like it was the muslims. Now I know. Thanks.
That is an elegant, and accurate definition of Christian.
