Probably a "church per so many feet" thing. San Angelo must of been a few short compared to Abilene.

Never knew his legal name, but I've been hearing about this "Resurrected King" guy for years. People have weekly support groups they go to just to talk about him. From what I hear, this isn't his first run in with the law. Great job APD!
