Busted: Warrants Issued For Infamous Pastor Tony Spell
Read Time:1 Minute, 32 Second
A warrant has been issued for infamous scofflaw Tony Spell, the Louisiana pastor who’s been making headlines for continuing to hold church services in defiance of state orders banning large gatherings amid the coronavirus pandemic.
Spell had already been hit with misdemeanor charges related to the services at Central Louisiana’s Life Tabernacle Church, but he now stands accused of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon.
The latest allegation claims Spell reversed a church bus in the direction of someone who was protesting outside the church on Sunday, stopping just short running over the man.
A driver of a white truck that appeared to swerve off the road and attempt to hit another protester has also been charged, and a warrant has been issued.
“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. I could see him driving the bus. He was honking his horn loudly at me and making gestures suggesting he was yelling while he was driving. It didn’t seem real until it was physically in my face with a bus.”
Spell’s attorney, however, tells NBC News,
“A fair viewing of the video will prove that Spell did not attempt to run over the protester, and the protester did not feel threatened, as he never moved when the bus came near.”
In the meantime, a coroner’s report says an elderly member of Life Tabernacle Church died of COVID-19 on April 13, but Spell says that is “a lie” and the man died of other causes. Spell is also asking church members to donate their stimulus money to the church.

I’ve seen enough Law and Order to know if the warrant is issued you need to show up or you and your ass is going to visit the barred hotel room. Persecution speech will happen right after his bail hearing on the steps of the local hoosgow (is that spelled correctly) you watch.
There’s an ‘e’ as in ‘hoosegow’ but I expect those taking residence won’t be worried about it. I hope he gets dragged out of his church in chains.
