A self-described “ice cream junkie” has been charged with a felony after breaking into a church freezer and making off with an undetermined amount of the frozen delight, police say.
Police say Andrew Steven Jung, 24, of St. Charles, Mo., was intoxicated when he smashed a glass door to the kitchen at St. Peter’s Catholic Church on March 8. He went into the church’s deep freezer to steal the ice cream, police told the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.
Jung was found walking some three blocks from the scene of the crime, police said. And, apparently, he was easy to spot: The still-drunk man had ice cream smeared on his face and clothing, police told the newspaper.
In a videotaped interview referred to in court documents, Jung said he was an “ice cream junkie,” the paper reported.
At the time of the incident, Jung was on probation for the burglary of another St. Charles church, the Post-Dispatch reported.
Jung, according to the St. Charles County court records, does not yet have an attorney. He remains in jail on $30,000 bond. He is charged with burglary, theft and property damage. A hearing is set in the case for March 25.
Jung was ordered to have no contact with St. Peters parish, according to court documents.

See what getting drunk will do to you.
Cause you to be Catholic and go to church?
Wrong in so many ways.
Well, at least we're all safe now that they've got him on ice...sweet.

Lieutenant Dan, ICE CREAM!!!
I wonder when his last glucose test was? Both of these things are high in sugar and he seems to be craving these. I wonder if he is hypoglycemic?
Well I guess this is one time that if he would have been smoking weed he might have done the same thing being he would have had the munchies, but then again weed does turn a person into a couch potato and he would have raided his own fridge instead of doing something as stupid as breacking into a church. Booze and beer makes a person do some stupid stuff, They need to just go ahead and make weed legal federally, and that would help the country all the way around, because most people would quit drinking and smoke it up instead, everyone knows that booze and beer is way worse than weed, I quit smoking years ago but I remember what it did and I remember what stupid stuff I did when I was drinking.
