The Indiana State Fire Marshal’s Office has made a seventh arrest, 19-year-old Skylar C. Ping, in the intentionally set fire on July 14 at the Grandview Apostolic Church in Brown County.

They arrested Nathan R. Bauermeister, Jonathan K. Mings, Dalton J. Poe and Cody L. Watts, Stephen A. Moore and one juvenile earlier this week.

The Brown County Prosecutor’s Office, Brown County Sheriff’s Office, Bartholomew County Sheriff’s Office, and the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) continue to be involved in the ongoing investigation. Initial reports say that the kids set fire to the church while high on LSD, and they are blaming the drug for their crime.

Information gathered from the Indiana Arson Hotline and the Crime Stoppers of Central Indiana Hotline was instrumental in leading to the arrests. Anyone with additional information is urged to call.

The Indiana State Fire Marshal’s Office continues to monitor the Indiana Arson Hotline # 800-382-4628 in addition to the Crime Stoppers of Central Indiana Hotline 317-262-TIPS. Those with information about the Grandview Apostolic Church fire or any other intentionally set fire are encouraged to call either line. All calls will be kept confidential.

An award of up to $1,000 is being offered through the Crime Stoppers Hotline. An award of up to $5,000 through the Indiana Arson Hotline is available for individuals who provide information leading to the arrest and conviction of person(s) in connection with the intentionally set fire.

Its bullshit that these kids blamed LSD for burning down this church. It was obviously a premeditated deliberate act... There were so many involved that it's nearly impossible for this to just be a drugged out rage.

They just gave the media more fuel for their anti-psychedelic agenda.
 
I am not sure sure. Need more information.

I can fathom the idea of tripping with many friends, talking about how horrible the Christian Church has been throughout history, and suddenly someone says "let's burn down the fucking church!" and everyone goes wild and actually tries to do it.

Of course, that wouldn't take the blame away from them.

However, in any case, it is lame that they try to blame LSD for what they did.

Exactly my point. Maybe they were thinking the would get leniency if they blamed the drugs, but I very seriously doubt that. I actually know one of the kids, as this happened twenty miles away from my home. He is an idiot and always has been, and its likely the others were of the same caliber.
 
I am interested to see what the toxicology report says. It will be really interesting if the police come out with one or if they just blame it on LSD and say thats the end of it.

The scary thing is, I can actually imagine that happening. Me and 3 other friends came so close to jumping off a bridge on mushrooms. The difference is we aren't retarded.
 
We need some of that special "Church Burning" LSD around here....too many churches and not enough kids with fire and malicious intent.

Great thing about their story is that LSD ingestion can no longer be proven... I was taken into custody on acid when I was younger. The blood test only showed signs of dehydration and low potassium or something. Other than dilated pupils and the fact that I told them I was on acid was the only proof, and dilated pupils can be caused by many things nowadays (even a concussion can cause dilated pupils).

My point is if this defense passes, it can pass for many other crimes with the same unprovable excuse.
 
Exclusive!! Leaked Memo From ATF about Brown County Church Burning
July 25, 2010
http://dopegamenews.co.uk/?p=1481

The following is a leaked memo from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms to the Brown County Prosecutors office submitted to us from a confidential source. We are the first to have it! The memo is concerning the church burning on July 16th in Brown County, Indiana. Read the initial story here Kids on LSD burn down church – Brown County, Indiana.

Date: July 16th, 2010 (revised 7/17/10)

Subject: Grandview Apostolic Church Burning

To: Jim Oliver Brown County Prosecutor

From: Tim Murray State Fire Inspector

___________________________________________________________________
Introduction
On the 16th of July we received a call on our anonymous tip line about an active fire at a church located at Old State Road 46, Nashville, IN 47448

Parties Involved (criminal charges should be filed)

* Cody L. Watts of Columbus, Indiana
* Dalton J. Poe of Columbus, Indiana
* Jonathan K. Mings of Columbus, Indiana
* Nathan R. Bauermeister of Columbus, Indiana
* Skyler Ping of Columbus, Indiana
* Stephen A. Moore of Columbus, Indiana
* Juvinile’s Name Removed

Findings
The tip said that the aboved mentioned suspects were intoxicated (hallucinating) on some form of a narcotic and had set fire to the Grandview Apostolic Church. Some of the suspects were bragging about it to people around town. One of the suspect’s and his mother were contacted. Stephen Moore and his mother provided us with the names of the other six suspects involved. We then served warrants on Cody L. Watts, Dalton J. Poe, Jonathan K. Mings, Nathan R. Bauermeister, Skyler Ping, and Stephen A. Moore.

After cross-questioning the subjects we learned that the group had planned the burning of the church for several days prior. All of the suspects admitted to ingesting LSD blotter paper and insulfating MDMA powder (commonly known as extacy) earlier that evening. They claimed that “the church was satanic” and they burned it for that reason.

Additional Information

The full report is attached. The federal prosecutor’s office is pressing criminal charges. It is now left to Brown County to handle all civil charges with this case.

It can't be blamed on drugs...the guys were fuggin' idiots. Even though I am not religious, it's a right for other people to be if they want, and burning down a church should land those idiots in some trouble. Jail time isn't good enough, make them WORK it off by helping rebuild the facility with some good old fashioned manual labor!
 
Me and my friends used to trip on shrooms and acid around the catholic church in our town because it was out of the way and cops rarely came up there. I have been a atheist for most of my life and i really don't like any religion but it certainly never occured to me to burn down a fucking church like these twats! I never understood how anyone could get violent under the influence of any psychedelic really as violence on psychs kinda scares the shit out of me. Plus even though i do not agree with any religion i still believe in the live and let live policy. If you are religious fine and dandy just don't preach it to me.

This is a classic case of idiots trying to get off on charges using the old excuse that it was the drugs that made them do it. Cunts :p
 
Being on drugs is not an 'excuse' for committing a crime in the eyes of the court. Being on drugs may lead to an ENHANCED penalty, but never a less severe penalty.
 
Burning down a church while candyflipping?? >_O I can't even imagine doing that, and I hate most Christians I've known (the ones that actually follow their own theology are pretty cool, though).
