Later that Christmas Eve night, deputies said Von Goetz went to midnight mass at St. Francis Xavier Catholic Church in Leonardtown, poured whiskey into the holy water and threatened to harm parishioners. As congregants there escorted him out, Von Goetz tried striking them with his whiskey bottle, according to the sheriff’s office.
