Skyler Hall, 21, has pleaded guilty to an April incident in which he beheaded the statues of Jesus and Joseph at St. Joseph Catholic Church using a lead pipe. He's been fined $500 and has to pay the church $7,185 to pay for the damages which also includes damage he did to a statue of the Virgin Mary. Beheading a statue of Jesus? That's rough.
