Charles James Williams is out of work. Nonetheless, he's a grateful man this holiday season. Newly free after spending about six months in jail for burglarizing churches to support a crack cocaine habit, Williams, 55, has been welcomed into the Frederick County Drug Treatment Court. To be accepted into the program, Williams had to admit guilt for his crimes -- and the eight local churches he burglarized had to go along with the plea agreement reached by the defense and the prosecution. "I attribute it to God," Williams said. "It's nothing short of a miracle." The incentive to abide by the rules of drug court is great -- failure to do so could result in a 30-year prison sentence on burglary charges. "At 55, that would be a life sentence," Williams said.
