 Sheriff's deputies early Saturday arrested a 30-year-old Redding man caught with stolen property from a Redding-area church.

Deputies at about 3:30 a.m. responded to a burglar alarm the Newtown Church of the Nazarene just off Lake Boulevard south of Pine Grove Avenue, just west of the Shasta Lake city limits.

There, they found Kenneth Paul Clark outside the church alone, Sgt. Gene Randall said. They also found a broken window on the church and Clark was carrying stolen property from the church, Randall said.

Clark admitted to deputies he'd burglarized the church, Randall said. Deputies arrested him on suspicion of burglary and booked him into the Shasta County Jail, they said.
