Louisiana Christian Pastor Arrested And Charged With Battery After Running Across Freeway To Brutally Beat Victim
Just another typical day in the life of a Christian pastor. Although, it is shocking that he didn’t rape the man after assaulting him. Maybe next time. Via WBRZ:
Mark Anthony “Tony” Spell, the pastor of Life Tabernacle Church along Hooper Road, was arrested and booked into East Baton Rouge Parish Prison for second-degree battery on Tuesday. WBRZ spoke with the Sherwins, who live across the street. They said Spell ran across the four-lane highway and started attacking their son.
The Sherwins say Tuesday’s arrest is tied to the recent end of a years-long legal battle that began when Spell was holding church services through the Coronavirus pandemic. Spell sued the couple in 2023, adding them to a lawsuit he filed against former Governor John Bel Edwards, Corcoran and East Baton Rouge Sheriff Sid Gautreaux following statewide COVID mandates.
Spell was issued six misdemeanor summonses by Central Police officers in 2020 when he continued holding church services while COVID cases across the state were rising. In the same year, he was arrested for aggravated assault for allegedly trying to hit a protester outside of Life Tabernacle Church with the church’s bus.
LOL.
