Some say this was a fitting end to a sacrilegious statue of Jesus named the "King of Kings," but renamed by locals here as Touchdown Jesus and Big Butter Jesus. Others, including the Solid Rock Church Pastor Darlene Bishop who proclaimed the statue made people 'remember Jesus or at least think about Jesus'.
Monroe Fire Chief Mark Neu said the fire spread to an amphitheater next to the statue but was confined to the attic area. It was reported no one was injured.
