Pastor of a Florida megachurch who was arrested for allegedly violating coronavirus orders says he's received death threats stemming from 'trumped-up charges.'
Hillsborough County Sheriff Chad Chronister secured an arrest warrant against Howard-Browne and had deputies from neighboring Hernando County arrest the pastor at his home on Monday.
"The word of my arrest has traveled around the world," according to Howard-Browne on Thursday."While I have received vulgar verbal abuse and death threats from people who do not know me and are not familiar with the facts, I have also received many words of support and prayer." "I have already been arrested once on trumped-up charges," the pastor said."I am a law-abiding citizen, who respects law enforcement. Like any normal law-abiding person, I would prefer not to be arrested again."
