LAS VEGAS (KLAS) — A person was taken into police custody Wednesday morning after allegedly lighting a church roof on hearth.
The pastor of College United Methodist Church, on Maryland Parkway close to Flamingo Street, referred to as Las Vegas Metropolitan police round 5:30 a.m. to report {that a} man was on the church roof and burning gadgets.
“We’ve had vandalism before. We’ve had rocks run through our windows. We have had a trash can set on fire, and it’s part of being where we are. We do have a preschool, and so we have had to lock it down today. Our main concern is safety of the children that are trusted to our care,” Pastor Stephen Govett stated.
The person did endure some accidents and was faraway from the roof. Govett stated the extent of injury hasn’t been decided, however the air conditioner is not working, so it was determined to shut the church’s preschool for the day.
