"Would you like a bronze copy of The Book of Mormon?"
Brigham Young Statue Vandalized
I hope they can repair it. What a couple of morons! *shaking head*
QUOTE SALT LAKE CITY -- Two men were arrested for vandalizing a statue of LDS Prophet Brigham Young as members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints gathered for the Church's general conference in downtown Salt Lake City on Sunday.
Police said the two men were intoxicated when went to the Mormon Pioneer Memorial Monument park at 140 E. First Ave. They broke the book off of the statue and started walking down the street with it.
Chris DeSantis recognized the book, called police and led them to the alleged vandals. He said, "I thought, uh oh, that doesn't look good."
He told us by phone he was walking to the conference center Sunday afternoon when he noticed two men staggering, carrying alcohol and the heavy bronze book toward State Street.
He said, "A girl approached them the other way, and one of them reached out to her and said, "Would you like a bronze copy of The Book of Mormon?'"
DeSantis said he knew exactly what they were holding and started following 26-year-old Parley Mortensen and 26-year-old Stewart Bodenstab down the street while he called police. His instructions led officers directly to the alleged vandals....
