Louisiana Pastor Fitted with Ankle Bracelet After Holding Church Services

Last week, one Central, Louisiana, pastor was placed on house arrest and fitted for a tracking device after refusing to suspend in-person worship services during the coronavirus pandemic, which has seen most churches around the country transition to internet-based gathering on Sunday mornings.

Tony Spell, who leads Life Tabernacle Church, held a worship service while wearing an ankle monitor Sunday, despite having been placed under house arrest, according to WAFB-TV.
