Man accused of decapitating religious statue

HOUSTON

Someone destroyed an angel in front of Queen at Peace Catholic Church along Telephone Road near Wayside. The vandal also decapitated the head of one of the Our Lady of Guadalupe statues and broke off her hands.

Other church members caught a 27-year-old man they say caused the damage.

"I think first and foremost we have to forgive him. As a Catholic we're taught to forgive, but I don't think he should escape punishment from the law," church member Alice Torres said.

The church plans to hold its Our Lady of Guadalupe Fest Day on Sunday. The church told us it will cost them $5,200 to repair the damage.
