NEBRASKA CITY - James Owens, 31, of Lincoln and Nebraska City is charged in Otoe County with burglary on Nov. 16.

An arrest affidavit says items were taken from St. Mary’s Catholic Church, including a ciboria vessel and bottles of communal wine. Prosecutors say Owens is suspected of similar thefts on five occasions in October and November.

Owens is scheduled for sentencing Jan. 17 for shoplifting at Ace Rent to Own and criminal trespass for entering a Coachman camper on a tow service lot.

Owens was involved in a Third Corso house fire on Sunday. Firefighters removed burning debris from the house, which was supposed to be vacant.
