Officers called to Most Precious Blood Church in Boston's Hyde Park neighborhood around 8 a.m. found a broken stained-glass window, chalices thrown about, missing Oriental rugs and an open safe.
Witnesses led officers downstairs, where a man was napping.
Police allege 47-year-old Charles Martin of West Roxbury resisted arrest and kicked an officer in the groin.
A search of Martin allegedly turned up a gold spoon with religious symbols, two knives, a sword, and prescription pills.
He was arrested on multiple counts.
