Desecration not Consecration

LegalView's DumbJustice - Dumb Criminal

A Florida man was arrested Saturday morning after allegedly tried to steal a handful of communion wafers during a Communion service.

According to the police report::

During mass at around 9 AM, Ricci accepted a wafer on the Communion line, but then walked away without taking the communion into his mouth.

After refusing a priest's requests to accept the wafer, Ricci turned to the priest and grabbed a handful of the wafers from the plate and attempted to leave the Church.

The parishioners were, understandably, very upset at his callous disregard for the service and they sought to detain him. A scuffle ensued as an 'enraged' Ricci began to 'act crazy.' Two of the men who tried to detain Ricci sustained minor injuries - they were 82 and 66 years old.

Ricci was charged with theft, battery, and disrupting a religious assembly. Take a look at the mugshot. He seems to be doing some communing of his own.
