As hilarious as it may sound, a man proved he had not repented and needed to cleanse his conscience when he broke into a Florida church and took a dip in a church’s baptistry pool before stealing from the house of worship and causing $8,000 in damage.
The thief's name is Derek Potter, a Georgia man in the US. He broke into the Church of God in Panama City Beach. He did this by using a block to smash the windows.
Porter loaded several electronics, including a television and a computer, into his truck along with the church’s money bag.
According to BCSO, Porter told investigators that he could not remember what happened during various moments inside the church. However, he said he did remember baptizing himself in the church’s baptistry pool.
He was arrested and charged with burglary of an occupied structure, criminal mischief, possession of methamphetamine, and possession of drug paraphernalia.
