The OC Register has the story on this wild story from the church:
A former Los Angeles police officer was arrested Tuesday on suspicion of a series of burglaries at Saddleback Church, officials said.
The man is identified as Charles Mottern, 45, of Irvine. He was taken into custody and booked on suspicion of burglary, possession of stolen property, evading arrest and resisting arrest. His bail has been set for $100,000 and he is scheduled to appear at Harbor Justice Center on Nov. 30.
Since August 2008 Saddleback Church officials have reported a string of burglaries at the church, said Orange County Sheriff’s spokesman Jim Amormino. Items stolen include cash, camera equipment, computers and radios.
Last Thursday church security personnel interrupted a burglary in progress at 5 p.m., said Amormino. They chased the suspect and saw him drive off in a black BMW.
