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.
