The embattled Louisiana pastor who’s repeatedly flouted social distancing measures and has been accused of nearly running over a protester with his church bus was placed on house arrest Saturday after refusing to tell a judge if he’d continue to hold Sunday services amid the coronavirus crisis.
Judge Fred Crifasi of the 19th Judicial District Court asked Spell if he would comply with the order that’s required all non-essential businesses, including churches, to shut their doors, and has limited gathering to no more than 10 people.
LOUISIANA PASTOR WHO FLOUTED SOCIAL DISTANCING URGES AMERICANS TO DONATE STIMULUS CHECKS TO HIS CHURCH Dozens of Spell’s parishioners met him at the prison in East Baton Rouge dressed in their Sunday best, arriving in church buses to show support. In a livestream from the church, images including photos from Spell’s arrest, as well as information for a GoFundMe account to help with his legal costs, played over music being performed at the church, according to the Associated Press.
“That man has been in front of my church driveway for three weeks now,” Spell told WAFB-TV on Monday. “He shoots people obscene finger gestures and shouts vulgarities. I was pulling in from my bus route, picking up black children who haven’t eaten because of this sinister policy that has closed schools. I was going to approach this gentleman and ask him to leave.”
