STATEN ISLAND Authorities say the 42-year-old suspect staked out churches by
sitting in on Alcoholics Anonymous meetings. They say he confessed
to 12 church burglaries after being arrested while trying to break
into the First Central Baptist Church in Staten Island's Stapleton
section.
District Attorney spokesman Daniel Donovan says the man was
arrested about 12:30 a.m. Saturday while using a screwdriver to
break into a basement window at the Baptist church.
Authorities say he confessed to committing the other burglaries
during questioning. They say he faces burglary and other charges
for the Saturday break-in.
