Louisiana pastor Tony Spell was arrested on Tuesday after police claimed he had attacked a 20-year-old neighbor in Central. Spell reportedly said the teenager had threatened to rape and kill his wife, prompting Spell to engage him. The family shared video footage that illustrates the two men exchanging blows on a street. Central police chief Christopher Kauffman asserted that law enforcement responded appropriately and rejected Spell’s claim that police did not act to keep the peace. Spell stood by his assertion that his actions were justified by the alleged threats. He currently remains in jail awaiting charges.
