Visalia church burglary suspect is a-rested

A Visalia burglary suspect was caught napping Tuesday -- literally.

Visalia police were called to Heart of the Valley Church at 2800 W. Walnut Ave. about 6 a.m. for a report of a break-in. That's where officers found Max Hughie, 19, sleeping in one of the rooms at the church. Investigators say he broke into two separate rooms and removed property.

Hughie was arrested on suspicion of burglary.
