Homeless man jailed after Church insists on pressing charges over stolen cookies worth $2.25 [View all]

[Melinda]

A homeless man stole cookies from a church in the 10700 block of Okeechobee Boulevard. A deputy found him sitting by the building’s entrance. He said he had been looking for assistance, pulled on a door and it opened. He helped himself to the cookies, but a cleaning person saw him and called 911. A church employee arrived at the scene and said the church would press charges. The man was arrested and taken to the county jail. The value of the cookies was $2.25.

I'm told this is the Churches website, but I haven't been able to confirm this for a fact, so I will send them a contact query only.

Just sharing another example in a long line of Xtian love - the kind that makes one's heart hurt.
