Last Weeks Burglary at an LDS Meeting House Goes to Court

LOGAN, Utah— Two individuals burglarized a Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints meeting house last week, stealing two CPU’s, and breaking two monitors. March 25th is the date set for court. 35-year-old Jim Michals is one of the accused. The name of the other juvenile assailant has not been released.

District Attorney, Noel Mayfield told us that Judge Alan Mayfield (no relation) found enough probable cause to take this to court. Michaels could face six months to a year for the felony burglary, breaking and entering. "I’m going to see for the maximum, they have prior records which is why they are facing what they are."

Defense Attorney of Michaels, Robbie Cochran, told us the evidence is flimsy. "We can establish where Mr. Michaels was at the time of the burglary." Sheriff Deputy, Geoffery Hasty made the arrest on Michales and the juvenile last week. Michaels posted bond of $5,000. No comments were made on the juvenile.
