Pastor Arrested For Allegedly Breaking Into Another Church
By Kelsi Thorud
CANTON, Ill.- A pastor faces crimi- nal charges, accused of break- ing into another church looking to steal.
"It just blew my mind that a pastor could do some- thing like that," said Edward Lucas of Canton.
Residents of Canton are reeling after learning a local pastor was arrested for allegedly breaking into another church just down the street.
"It's crazy. Everybody's doing crazy things these days and it blows my mind," said Trisha Fisher of Canton.
David Utt, pastor of New Hope Community Church in Canton, bailed out of the Fulton County Jail after police say they caught him breaking into the First Church of the Nazarene.
"I feel like it's a little odd, a pastor trying to break into a different church. I feel like that's kind of against the whole reli- gion thing," said Cody Akers of Canton.
Canton Police say offi- cers noticed a suspi
cious car parked behind the church just after 1 a.m. Monday morning and noticed the back door forced open.
Officers then went into the church and that's when police say they allegedly found Utt breaking into a safe in the office.
"It was shocking and I read it and my wife, she couldn't hardly believe it. I mean he broke into the back of the church?" said Wayne Wheeler, a member of First Church of the Nazarene.
It's not just those in the community in shock, members of Utt's own congregation are strug
gling to understand why.
"He just seemed like a really nice guy, always happy. It didn't show what he was going
through, he must have been going through something," said Denisha Evans, a mem- ber of New Hope Community Church. Many believe Utt was going through some- thing, possibly a financial hardship that must have pushed him over the edge.
"Competition brings out the best and worst of people," said Akers.
Either way, Utt faces charges of burglary and criminal damage to a place of worship.
