The Arizona Tribune reported on Monday that a repentant burglar turned himself in Sunday in Mesa after watching Mel Gibson’s “The Passion of the Christ.”
Turner Lee Bingham, 20, walked up on Monday into a group of policemen investigating the burglar alarm of a wireless store and confessed he had taken $80 from the register.
He also said he was responsible for five or six burglaries at other places.
Mesa police detective Ruben Quesada said that Bingham mentioned that watching the “Passion of the Christ” was his motive for turning himself in.
