It could have been worse. Church member Leon Mcneely said one of the slugs embedded itself in the wall near some plumbing for the hot water used to heat the church. Kenneth Dilbeck, a member of the property committee for University Baptist Church, said this was not the first time his church had been vandalized. Once in, the intruders discharged a dry chemical fire extinguisher in the hallway, covering the floor with the dry powder. This latest incident has Dilbeck puzzled.
People seem to do whatever crosses their minds, no matter how big or small.
