Sharps containers for disposal of used needles are located in the front and back of the church and in all of the church’s bathrooms because church staff, guests and officers expressed concerns about needles being in the area, police said in the report.

Following an officer’s contact with church staff at the building in October, officers offered to empty one of the sharps containers for staff. When an officer brought the sharps container back to the police department and tested the needles inside, they came back presumptive positive for methamphetamine, according to the police report.

The Fellowship offers services to a large number of homeless people. Or offered, before they were shut down. Such a helpful officer to volunteer to empty their sharps container!
