On Tuesday (June 23), a Louisiana pastor was arrested after being accused of beating up a young man across the street from his church. Tony Spell of Life Tabernacle Church in Baton Rouge faces one count of second-degree battery.
According to reports, the altercation, which was caught on tape, was part of an ongoing feud between Spell and a family that lives in a home nearby the church.
