Police have arrested a controversial pastor of Life Tabernacle Church in Central, La.
Pastor Tony Spell is accused of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, the Central Police Department says.
He was taken into custody Tuesday morning, April 22, outside of the church. He was transported to the East Baton Rouge Parish Prison.
Police in Central say Spell allegedly backed up a church bus into the direction of a person protesting in front of his church Sunday."At first I thought he [Spell] was just turning around his bus and was going to pull away, but he just kept coming in reverse," said Trey Bennett, the protester.
Video of the alleged incident shows the bus coming to a stop just short of where the protester was standing.
