Flying Gravel from Burnouts Damages Church

(La Porte County, IN) - It appears a La Porte County church was damaged by mud and gravel thrown from the spinning tires of a vehicle doing burnouts.

 

Sauktown Church of Christ in Mill Creek was left with holes of various shapes and sizes in the siding of an outside wall and a damaged outside window, according to La Porte County Police.

 

The same wall was also left covered in mud.

 

Pastor Greg Jaggers told investigators he was awakened early Saturday by the sound of a vehicle doing burnouts. Several hours later, he was washing the mud off the wall when he discovered the holes in the siding.

 

Police said there were circular tire marks on the pavement at 150 North and 875 East, which is just a short distance from the church and ruts in the nearby church parking lot.

 

So far, no suspects have been identified, police said.
