A man is facing multiple charges after reportedly causing a nuisance at two churches that allegedly included adding extra spirits to the spirit of Christmas by spiking the holy water with whiskey in one of the houses of worship.

On the evening of December 24, the Holy Angels church was in the middle of its 5:00 mass when an unknown man entered. According to reports he walked to the front of the church and placed an onion on the floor before he walked out of the building. When parishioners went outside to see where he went, the man allegedly tried to pelt them with tangerines before running away.

During the second incident, which occurred approximately 45 minutes into the midnight mass at St. Francis Xavier Church, a man walked in with a bottle of whiskey in his hand. While there, he allegedly threatened to hurt the people in attendance and stated that he wanted to “kill Catholics.” The man reportedly dumped the whiskey into the holy water, which he allegedly said he did so he could “blind Satan.” The authorities were notified, and parishioners forced the man to remain there while deputies from the St. Mary’s County Sheriff’s Office went to the church.

While churchgoers were present for a Tuesday morning mass, a man allegedly entered the house of worship and masturbated in front of them after taking a dip in the receptacle that holds the holy water.

On October 9, 75 people went to the morning service at the Spirit of Life Roman Catholic Church in Mandan, North Dakota.

One of the women who works at the church allegedly saw a man without his clothing on inside of the fountain of holy water used for baptisms. She reported that she then saw him begin to stroke his penis in the direction of the altar before he walked toward it and continued to masturbate despite the many people inside. The woman alerted the authorities and told them of the incident.

A gunman, now identified as Stephen Craig Paddock, of Mesquite, used a fully-automatic assault rifle to fire hundreds, perhaps thousands of rounds down onto a crowd of fans enjoying the conclusion of a three-day country music festival near the Mandalay Bay Casino in Las Vegas, NV. Over 58 people are dead and at least 400 wounded in the now-deadliest mass shooting in U.S. history.

In footage of the attack, dozens of shots can be heard going off in a matter of seconds. Officers and SWAT team personnel stormed the hotel room on the 32nd floor of the Mandalay Bay Casino to find Paddock dead from a self-inflicted gunshot wound. Among the wounded and dead were four off-duty police officers.
