‘We’ll say you touched us’: Police arrest two men for intimidating and threatening to rob a Catholic priest, 73, after following him into sacristy after mass
By CHRIS PLEASANCE
Two men have been charged after attempting to rob a Catholic priest following Mass in Chicago.
Deandrea and Markquis Little, 22 and 20, followed the 73-year-old into the sacristy at around 8.30am last Monday before demanding money.
Deandrea is alleged to have poked the priest in the head and threatened to hit him before saying he would tell the papers the priest had ‘touched us’ if anyone found out.
According to police reports the pair had carried out a four-year campaign of intimidation against the church in the Back of the Yards area, taking at least $10,000, damaging windows and jumping on the priest’s car.
