Law enforcement officials arrested the pastor of a Tampa, Florida megachurch yesterday for violating a safer-at-home order that was in place to limit the spread of the COVID-19 virus, the CBN website reports today (March 31, 2020).
Pastor Rodney Howard-Browne turned himself into authorities yesterday afternoon in Hernando County, where he lives.
He was charged with unlawful assembly and violation of a public health emergency order. Bail was set at $500. He was released after posting bond.
Hillsborough Sheriff Chad Chronister said, "His reckless disregard for human life put hundreds of people in his congregation at risk and thousands of residents who may interact with them this week in danger."
