The Thayer Police Department reports the arrest of a man for damaging a local church.
According to Assistant Police Chief Luke Martin, on May 28, the Thayer Police Department received a call from Webber Road.
The caller informed dispatch that they had a male subject breaking windows at the Midway Pentecostal Church.
Due to the church being outside the jurisdiction of the Police Department, the Oregon Couty Sheriff’s Office was notified, and they asked for an agency assist to secure the scene until they could respond.

During that time, the Police Department received another call stating a suspect was breaking windows at his residence on Webber Road, which was inside city limits.
