Boder Patrol rescues Jesus

[Champ]

EAGLE PASS, Texas - A life-size fiberglass statue of Jesus that was found in the Rio Grande has ended up in a police department's evidence room, but law officers say it can't stay there much longer.

Border Patrol agents found the statue on a sandbar in the river Aug. 31. When agents first saw it from the air, they thought it was a body and launched a rescue attempt.

Police have kept it for 90 days, waiting for an owner to come forward. They say it now must be disposed of as unclaimed property.

"We see every day a steady flow of people coming in and paying homage to it," Police Chief Juan A. Castaneda said. "We've had them come from different parts of the country."

City Manager Jesus M. Olivares says the city has decided to donate the statue to someone who could share it with the public. He placed the issue on the City Council's agenda for Tuesday.

2. This was a huge story here about a month ago...

Two towns were fighting over Jesus, each claiming that he came to them. My husband says whoever threw the first one in the river should throw another one in so they can shut up about it.
