Man Charged with Using Wheelchair in Church Burglary

A 53-year-old man was held on $5,000 bond in Bryan after police said he broke into a church and used a wheelchair taken from there to haul off some electronics.

James Roger Taylor was spotted after police received a call Saturday about a man wheeling a chair filled with items.

The Eagle of Bryan-College Station reported that police said Taylor denied knowing about the three microphones, two speakers and a wireless router in the chair but he had blood and what looked like dried paint on his hands.

Officers found a broken stained glass window and window sill at the Greater Tabernacle Baptist Church. A church official confirmed the chair and electronics belonged to the church.

Taylor is charged with burglary and could be sentenced to two years in jail if convicted.
