OCALA, FL - Mario Condis, 60, volunteered as an usher at Blessed Trinity Catholic Church. But during that time, church officials noticed the donations were much lower than usual and contacted police.

When the priest asked the congregation to bow their heads and close their eyes for prayer, Mario stuffed his pockets with cash. But Mario didn't know the police were watching. As he went to the altar, deputies met him and escorted him out of the church and into a squad car. Police emptied his pockets of nearly $350... not bad for an hour's worth of "ushering"!
