SANDY HOOK, Ky. (WSAZ) -- The young man who made headlines for allegedly stealing from a church remains in jail on a second alleged theft charge following a hearing Thursday morning.

23-year-old James Talbot Nickell, of Sandy Hook, was originally arrested in December after stealing musical equipment from a church in Sandy Hook, Ky. As part of a plea deal, Nickell was given the option to go to jail for a year or walk in front of the church with a sign that said "I Stole from this Church" around his neck for six weeks. The option also included attending church services during that time.

Nickell chose church over jail. But, he completed only a portion of his sentence before being arrested again.

The Elliott County Sheriff says that after one of his Sunday stints last month, Nickell committed another crime. He was arrested and charged a felony count of theft by unlawful taking over $500.

Thursday, a preliminary hearing was held on that latest theft charge. Following the hearing, the case was sent to the next Elliott County Grand Jury. Nickell's bond was set at $10,000 cash.

James Talbot Nickell, 23, of Sandy Hook, chose church as his punishment as part of a plea deal, according to the Elliott County Sheriff.

The Sheriff’s Office says Nickell was arrested after he stole several guitars and amps from the First Baptist Church in Sandy Hook on December 8. Investigators say the stolen items were found in his closet a short time later. Nickell was charged with two counts of receiving stolen property after his arrest.

On December 20, Nickell was offered a plea deal during a hearing in Elliott County District Court. He could either spend 12 months in jail or attend Sunday services at the church for six weeks. That punishment also included walking in front of the church an hour before services, and an hour after services wearing a sign saying “I stole from this church.” The Sheriff says he, Nickell's attorney, the prosecuting attorney and judge all came up with that option as punishment.

Nickell made his first church appearance on Sunday, January 13 under the watchful eye of the Sheriff.

His six-week sentence should end after services on February 17.
