They have accused him of transporting hazardous materials and openly carrying a firearm. Hazardous materials? Well, it was a bunch of Korans...
MULBERRY (FOX 13) - Controversial Pastor Terry Jones was arrested this afternoon while on his way to the planned Koran-burning demonstration in Polk County.This looks political to me...
Wednesday evening, Polk Sheriff Grady Judd said in a press conference that he warned Jones that if he broke the law in Polk County, he would be arrested.
"He did, and we did," Judd said.
Jones' vehicle was pulled over by the sheriff's office for allegedly transporting hazardous materials. Some of the 3,000 kerosene-soaked Korans were apparently inside a grill that was being towed behind a truck.
Judd also said Jones was openly carrying a firearm when he got out of the truck, which was a violation of the law.
