Looks like the tough guy pastor has a problem with lying.

“Allegations that the Central Police Department has failed to investigate complaints lodged by Pastor or Mrs. Spell are untrue. Our records reflect only 5 incidents involving Pastor or Mrs. Spell in the past 4 years, and only one of those involved a complaint against their neighbors. All calls to our department are recorded, and all persons who visit our department to make in-person complaints are captured on video. If dates and times complaints were allegedly made are provided to me, I will order an audit of our systems to investigate any claim of a failure to investigate.

For many years, and to this day, the East Baton Rouge Parish Sheriff’s Office has served as the primary law enforcement agency for incidents like this. We will work to support the Sheriff’s Office, should our assistance be requested, as it continues to conduct its investigation. The safety of our citizens is, and will always remain, my top priority.”

Could be! We will have to see how all of that pans out. Everyone involved deserves due process of law.

When I first read the news I read the interview where the pastor was saying he was protecting his church and family. In which I am not against a man protecting his household. Now in diving in to the fine details there is much more to the story. So I am not as sure. We will have to see how the story pans out. Hopefully the pastor has all his bases covered and his story straight as he may be in for some lawsuits.
