Officers responding to a burglary call at the Emerald Beach Church of God in Panama City Beach on Friday discovered that Derek Porter had used a cinderblock to smash a window to get inside, the Bay County Sheriff’s Office said.
A female church employee fled when she heard the glass breaking, cops said.
“While inside, Porter caused approximately $8,000 worth of damage to the church, police said in a statement. “Porter then loaded several electronics including a television and a computer into his truck along with the church’s money bag.”
