Crossroads Baptist Church Employee Sends Robber to Meet his Maker

By Jenn Jacques

An employee of the Crossroads Baptist Church helped a man find God Sunday night.

…just not how you’d expect.

“They (church employees) were getting ready to go on a youth trip and they were working late to get ready for the trip in the morning,” said LT. Brian Smith.

Police say Steffon Parreese Valentez Tolver entered through the back door of the Dothan, AL church at approximately 10:40 p.m. Sunday night with the intent to rob the house of God, but he certainly wasn’t counting on meeting Him.

“From the information I have received, two church employees were inside the building at the time the altercation occurred,” said Dothan Police Chief Steve Parrish. “An additional church employee had left the premises to run an errand, and arrived back after the suspect had entered into the church.”

Tolver had already robbed a staff member of approximately $50, and when the second staff member returned, he attempted to rob them as well. But during the attempted robbery, that staff member drew his handgun and shot Tolver in the upper torso. Parrish said after he was shot, Tolver fled from the church building and collapsed outside.

Houston County Coroner Robert Byrd confirmed Tolver was pronounced dead …Read the Rest
