LOGAN, UT - Two persons were arrested today in correlation to the break-in at the meetinghouse of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
James Michaels, 35, and a minor were charged with two misdemeanor accounts, breaking and entering and one charge of felon burglary. The preliminary trial proved positive for their persecution today at the Cache County 1st Superior Court.
Sheriff Deputy Geoffrey Hasty said, "Seems like a pretty simple cut and dry case to me. We certainly have the right people in this case." Hasty was of the first respondents on the scene of the crime early this morning. Hasty found finger print evidence which linked them to Michaels and his minor accomplice. "They did not resist arrest, and came peacefully," said Hasty.
Defense Attorney Robbie Cochran is disputing finger print evidence and believes there is not enough evidence to proceed with the trial.
The defendents are both being tried as adults and face up to a minimum of six months in jail and up to five-thousand dollars in fines if found guilty.

Good use of information and nice flow. Be careful with your information, however....at the end when you said they ARE both being tried as adults, it was really that the prosecuting attorney was trying to get it so that they would both be tried as adults. Overall great job!
