Miracle on Sunday

There are a lot of ways in which the police find out information in-order to close a case or find out about any crime.The traditional way of finding out information in the neighborhood was through snitches,tip off's,grapevine,gossip,investigation to name but a few.The most important thing about incriminating evidence is that it has to be reliable or from the horses mouth through a testimony.
This then comes to the unveiling of the new way to find out information which is from a church testimony.In Old Cannan,Highfield on Sunday the 6th of May an older woman went to the pulpit to tell the whole church what the good Lord had done for her (name of church and woman withheld).She said the local Water Supply Council Authority  had visited her homestead and they had shut down her water supply leaving her residence dry of water because of failing to pay up her bills at time.She said that she knelt down to pray and after a good few minutes of prayer a miracle happened,water abruptly started gushing out the water-tapes.Once again the good Lord had provided for the needy,the thirsty had been parched of their thirst.In the meanwhile in the congregation there was a council officer who works for the local Water Supply Council Authority (name withheld) who then felt the urge to investigate this miracle and he did that the first thing on the following Monday morning.When he reached the miracle scene,he figured out that the miracle did not happen the way it was said to have.He figured out that it was the hand of the lady that had miraculously took a pinchers and miraculously un-tightened the tapes that the Council had  tightened and then there we have our miracle.This meant that the lady had illegally re-opened her water supply.By  this act she had to be detained into police custody to wait for further trial and lawful action. 
Why did she even turn it into a testimony?
