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.

A California woman has been fired from her job as an ice cream store manager after she referred to President Barack Obama with a racial slur on Facebook and wrote “maybe he will get assassinated.”

Denise Helms, 22, of Turlock, posted the Facebook statement on Tuesday night after Obama won re-election to a second term. The post referred to the president using the N word. “Maybe he will get assassinated this term..!!” Helms wrote, according to the Modesto Bee. 

Helms later deleted the post after negative reaction to it began circulating on social media.

In an interview with FOX40 News on Thursday, Helms wasn’t apologetic about what she posted and maintained she is not a racist.

“The assassination part is kind of harsh,” Helms told FOX40. “I’m not saying I’d go do that or anything like that, by any means, but if it was to happen I don’t think I’d care one bit.”

Helms worked at the Cold Stone Creamery franchise store in Turlock.

The national Cold Stone Creamery chain tweeted Thursday night that Helms "is no longer w/ the company."

On Friday, Chris Kegle, director of the Turlock Cold Stone Creamery store, said he was shocked by Helms’ post.

"We found her comments to be very disgusting, and they do not reflect our opinions here," Kegle told the Bee. "We never saw anything from her at work like those comments."

A Secret Service agent in the Sacramento office said the agency would look into Helms’ comments.
