Church Vandal Arrested, Charged With Spray-Painting Several Churches
December 7, 2021
The Escambia County Sheriff’s Office has charged a local man with spray-painting several churches.
Deputies responded to the Olive Baptist Church Tuesday to find that numerous glass doors, metal doors, brick walls, and sidewalks were spray-painted using words and phrases like “murder”, “depart”, “liar”, and “Satan depart from me”. A white male with a beard and glasses was seen on surveillance video, according to the ECSO.
Shortly after this story was posted, the ECSO received a tip about the suspect’s identity. Deputies responded to Sears Boulevard and took 31-year old Sean Thomas Michaels into custody.
Michaels is charged with felony criminal mischief and two counts of aggravated assault on a law enforcement officer.
Michaels was also charged with spray-painting four other area churches – Marcus Pointe Baptist Church, Victory Baptist Church, St. Andrew the Apostle Orthodox Church, and Legacy Church.

Aren’t they a Lil old for baby games like that . UNREAL !! Go Get A Job !!
When you have the Lord dealing with you, you’ll get on your knees, not get a can of spray paint. In today’s age people do this type of thing for ATTENTION, their 15 minutes of fame! We shouldn’t even acknowledge this type of thing, catch them jail them and keep them in jail until they PAY OFF THE DAMAGE They’ve done. Y
Doesn’t seem to have worked.
You do not mess with the LORDS house without dealing with the LORDS punishment / rath
We need mental institutions funded here, not wasteing our funds on foriegn interest.
Put him to work busting rocks with a 14 lb sledgehammer 12 hours a day. 7 days a week for 6 months, He’ll be a Model Citizen when he gets out, These people aren’t scared of the law anymore.
Dear “tg” & “Concerned citizen”,
Be careful about throwing around the State Sponsored “mental illness” tag. It can/will be you one day. He’s nothing but a criminal vandal.
Yeah. He looks like the kind of person who’d do that sort of thing.
If we had a Mental Institution we could fill it up.
God is really dealing with this man’s soul.
Good one Well..
Another example of a mentally disturbed person. A perfect example of a world gone crazy. Prayers for this man some needed help. Prayers for the church as well. Stay strong, don’t let evil invade your lives.
Marathon in Davisville should look at these cameras.
