It Seemed Like A Good Idea At The Time — But If You Smoke Enough Crack A Lot Of Things Can Seem That Way

It takes a special kind of person to burglarize a church:

Donald Domenech, 41, whose address was not immediately available, apparently used his clenched fist and a brick to smash the window of a door at Our Lady Queen of Peace R.C. Church at about 11:50 p.m., police said.

. . .

Once inside, court papers said Domenech ripped the drawers out of two wooden cabinets holding offerings, making off with $11.30 in cash.

After that whopping take, of course the only sensible thing is to indulge one’s inner dick and figure out how to really fuck over a church . . . let’s see here . . . of course, it’s obvious — steal the computer the schoolchildren use:

He also took a computer used by children attending the parish school, said the Rev. John Sheehan, pastor.

Not to worry though, because cops soon stopped him after noticing his bloody hand. They also found the perp’s crack pipe:

But less than an hour later, at 12:39 a.m. yesterday, Domenech was arrested by cops from the Mid-Island’s 122nd Precinct as he walked near New Dorp Lane and New Dorp Plaza South, after they observed bleeding cuts on his hands, court papers stated.

“The cops saw him walking down New Dorp Lane and thought he was suspicious, so they stopped him,” said Father Sheehan.

“I went to church Sunday and I saw the collections, so I decided if I need some money I would go to the church and get some,” Domenech told the arresting officer, according to court filings. “Got the money and a computer.”

Domenech, who allegedly was high on crack at the time, also was in possession of a crack pipe with residue, according to police reports.

Charming!
