Woman Marked Church With "666" Graffiti, Attacked Cop With Crucifix: Police

[n2doc]

A woman vandalized a Massachusetts church with "666" markings and tried to attack a police officer with a metal crucifix that had been donated after a baby Jesus was stolen from a nearby Nativity scene and replaced with a pig's head, authorities said.

Fifty-four-year-old Amarellis Cermeno of Haverhill was arrested on various charges, including assault with a deadly weapon, malicious destruction of property and destruction of a place of worship.

Police say they responded to La Iglesia Biblica Bautista just before 3 p.m. Tuesday for a report of vandalism, where they found "666" written in large numerals with a black marker in 15 different places on the outside of the church. A witness was able to take a photo of the suspect, who was described as a woman wheeling around a suitcase with an American flag, according to police.

Cermeno was located on Main Street at Winter Street by police as they searched the area. Police say Cermeno was carrying a large metal crucifix and tried to hit a police officer with it multiple times, but was eventually arrested.

"Cermeno is being held without bail. A psychologist who was brought in before the hearing said Cermeno has mental health issues."

Where have I heard THAT story before?

By the way, I heard this on my local news last night. The way the newscaster - in his most serious, 'evil is among us' voice - kept referring to her scrawled 666's as Satanic markings just made me laugh.

I was thinking, "Rotary Club" myself. Those Rotarians can get a liiiiittle out-of-hand from time to time.
