Man Pleads Guilty To Robbing Ross County Churches

A man has pleaded guilty to kicking in the doors and looting more than two dozen Ross County churches to help feed his drug habit. 26-year-old Cash Yoakem pleaded guilty to charges of robbing 27 churches, some more than once, from October through January. The churches reported the theft of everything from televisions and copper wire to heirloom communion trays. Yoakem is also charged with breaking into two car washes.
