Louisiana Pastor Tony Spell goes to jail after feud with young neighbor

Send us Fan MailLouisiana Pastor Tony Spell doesn’t hold back. He first made national news in 2020 when he continued to hold massive in-person services at Life Tabernacle Church in Central, a city north of Baton Rouge, despite health restrictions. Now he’s back in the headlines after a video went viral of him sprinting across four lanes of highway to confront his neighbor’s son after the young man allegedly hurled insults and threats against Spell’s family. Police say it’s part of an on-going feud between Spell and his neighbors. The pastor was arrested for second-degree battery, and he wasn’t out of jail anytime before his neighbors called the police on Spell again when he started doing yard work at his church at 4:00 in the morning, disturbing their peace they said. But people love Spell’s won’t-back-down spirit and for many the incident has only boosted their support of him!Join us for the latest episode of the Gulf Coast Confidential Podcast, “Louisiana Pastor Tony Spell goes to jail after feud with young neighbor,” and a mixed bag of other “What the feezy?!” cases!Support the show
