SPRINGFIELD, Ore. (AP) — Police say a man who was caught walking out of a Springfield church with stolen items is suspected of breaking into three other churches in the city.
An officer noticed a broken window and arrested 28-year-old Ryan Schroder early Monday at the New Life Center. Police believe he’s also responsible for break-ins in the past month at the Church of the Nazarene, First Baptist Church and Springfield Lutheran Church.
The Register-Guard reports that in 2005 Schroder was sentenced to 13 months in prison after pleading guilty in Lane County Circuit Court to burglaries at six churches and an elementary school.
