A 56-year-old man accused of pouring whiskey into holy water and assaulting local residents was arrested and faces seven charges in Leonardtown, Md., according to the St. Mary’s County Sheriff’s

Turning holy water into whiskey has one man in jail tonight. On Christmas Eve, a man disrupted two churches in Maryland. A rather bizarre story that has the sheriff's office on alert for people in need of mental help.

When they got there, parishioners were holding down a 56-year-old man, accused of impeding the service by dumping whiskey into the holy water and threatening to hurt attendees, deputies said. As church attendees were removing the man from the building, he tried to hit several people with the bottle of whiskey, deputies said.
