A man was arrested over the weekend for allegedly breaking into a church in New Hope.
When members of a church on New Hope Road arrived for services Sunday morning, they found Alvie James Jordan, 30, of 196 Rob Revere Lane, in the building, said Capt. Ryan Rickert with the Lowndes County Sheriff’s Office. Jordan allegedly broke into the church sometime the previous night, ate some food and began collecting items to take out of the building. Ryan added that there is at least one electronic item that has not been accounted for since the incident.
LCSO deputies arrested Jordan at the church. He has been charged with burglary of a building and possession of methamphetamines and his bond set at $15,000. He is in custody at the Lowndes County Adult Detention Center on a hold from Mississippi Department of Corrections.
