Most people who get baptized as adults try to turn over a new leaf, but not always: Some idiot broke into a church in Florida last week . . . baptized himself . . . and then immediately robbed the place.
His name is Derek Porter, and he’s from Georgia. But it happened at a church in Panama City Beach, Florida on Friday. (It’s on the panhandle, about 100 miles east of Pensacola.)
He used a cinderblock to smash out a window, and then got in the church’s baptism pool. He claimed later that he didn’t remember much about the break-in, except that he baptized himself.
Once he was done, he loaded a TV, computer, and other electronics into a truck, along with the church’s money bag.
Cops showed up before he left and arrested him for burglary and criminal mischief. They also found METH, so he’s facing charges for that too.
There’s chest-cam footage of him acting confused when they asked if anyone else was with him. It’s worth a watch, because there’s one funny part at the end.
They had a police dog with them, and the dog ALSO hopped in the baptism pool. Apparently it was hot that day.
