The following comes from an August 13 CBS SF Bay Area article:
Police in Santa Rosa on Friday arrested a suspect in connection with an arson incident that occurred at a church on Thursday.
Yovan David Ayon, 34, of Santa Rosa, was arrested on suspicion of felony arson and violation of probation, according to police.
Firefighters with the Santa Rosa Fire Department responded Thursday at 3:35 p.m. to a report of a fire inside the Saint Rose Catholic
Church at 398 10th St., police said.
Firefighters located four separate fires all in or around the altar of the modern wing of the church and were able to quickly extinguish the fires.
There was no structural damage due to the fire, but several decorative altarpieces were destroyed in the incident, police said.
Investigators ruled the cause of the fire as arson, and Santa Rosa Police Department Property Crimes detectives were called to the scene to help investigate the incident.
On Friday, detectives followed up on a credible lead that led to the probation search of a residence located a few blocks from the church.
Police said evidence related to the arson was located inside the residence, and the resident, identified as Ayon, was taken into custody and arrested in connection with the incident.
Horrible.
When Holy Redeemer Church in Frisco was tagged with swastikas and slurs against the Pope – Nothing was done save to applaud the effort and decry the failure to use ‘eco-friendly’ Spray Paint.
Expect more of the same as we translation from the Abomination of Barry ‘on the down low’ Soetoro to Hitlary of Rodham – meaning Pander or Perish = the ‘gospel’ of the Gaystapo.
Every pastor’s nightmare!
This is the second time St. Rose has been hit. The first time was a few years ago when a Molotov cocktail was thrown at the front entrance and caused fire damage to the door and narthex carpet. St. Rose went through a rebirth five years ago when parishioners from the Cathedral left when a more Trad Pastor was assigned there. The easy going pastor at St Rose welcomed them and their weekly contributions happily.
The person that was involved in the fire is a man who is a drug addict. He lost he’s mind to crystal meth. He was not always destructive at one point he was the opposite. May the lord keep him away from temptation.
Did u know him ?
