Dude smashes car into church in suicide attempt, wanted to be "closer to Jesus..."

 A 54-year-old Largo man wanted to be closer to Jesus, so he rammed his car into a church.

Largo Police say Phillip Wagner told them he intentionally drove his vehicle into The Faith United Methodist Church in an attempt to "kill himself and be closer to Jesus."

When investigators arrived at the church, located at 610 West Bay Drive, they found Wagner's vehicle partially inside the Education Center.

Officers took Wagner to the Pinellas County Jail, where he is under suicide watch.

Damage to the church is estimated to be around $10,000.
