Watsonville woman topples crucifix during catholic church vandalism rampage.
A woman in California was arrested after allegedly wrecking several pieces of religious art — including a large crucifix in a Catholic church's sanctuary. Surveillance video from St. Patrick's Church in Watsonville, California shows a woman walking up to the large wooden crucifix near the main altar and pushing it over. The woman hurries back up the aisle as the crucifix crashes to the floor. According to authorities, this was part of a spree of similar crimes. The suspect was identified by witnesses as a 23-year-old woman with a prior history of drug abuse. She is accused of going on a vandalism rampage in Watsonville in Santa Cruz County in the middle of the day on Feb. 6. Her crime spree was spread out over several blocks on Main Street, and she apparently was targeting religious items. It is also thought that drug use might have been a factor.
