Jim was a member of Roan Creek Two stop would-be church burglar By BECKY CAMPBELL Press Senior Reporter [email protected] Two people staying at a local church thwarted a burglary early Monday morning after they heard glass breaking and went to investigate. The couple, Richard and Malinda Measner, confronted the man exiting a room in the basement of Grandview Christian Church. When he saw them, he ran to the front door to leave with the Measners on his heels. They also called 911. When officers arrived, they saw David J. Bell, 53, 602 University Parkway, Apt 5, and one of the witnesses walking away from the building. Police detained both, then determined Bell was the suspect. Police said Bell had a backpack with a pry bar, wire cutters and a multi-tool hammer, as well as a garage door opener, several DVDs and other items — evidence they say was the proceeds from other burglaries. Police searched the building and learned the rear window of the church had been broken. After Bell was taken to jail, police searched the area of the burglaries and found the address, 310 University P a r k w a y, where the garage door o p e n e r belonged. They saw pry marks to the garage’s side Bell door and spoke with the homeowner, who described missing items that Bell had when he was arrested. Bell was charged with two counts of aggravated burglary and possession of burglary tools. He was held in the Washington County Detention Center on $41,000 bond and arraigned in Sessions Court on Monday afternoon. Bell was appointed a public defender to represent him and has a preliminary hearing scheduled later this month. www.johnsoncityhearingcenter.com PAIN OR RINGING IN YOUR EARS? Call Dr. Daniel R.
