1
00:00:17.000 --> 00:00:19.800
All right, folks, a look at what we're covering today.
2
00:00:20.039 --> 00:00:25.039
In Oklahoma, and Arby's manager is charged with felony poisoning
3
00:00:25.120 --> 00:00:28.679
after spitting in a customer's food and giving them herbies.
4
00:00:29.879 --> 00:00:33.200
In Louisiana, a pastor is arrested after a fight with
5
00:00:33.280 --> 00:00:36.679
his neighbor. But maybe there's more to this one. We're
6
00:00:36.719 --> 00:00:40.159
going to talk about it. Also in Louisiana, a man
7
00:00:40.320 --> 00:00:44.159
is rearrested in charge with first degree murder in the
8
00:00:44.359 --> 00:00:47.280
death of a missing fifteen year old. We've got all
9
00:00:47.320 --> 00:00:49.920
the up to the minute details on that. We're going
10
00:00:50.000 --> 00:00:52.799
to take a ride on the True Crime time machine
11
00:00:52.799 --> 00:00:56.119
this week and revisit the Loreina Bobbit case.
12
00:00:56.920 --> 00:00:58.280
I'm very familiar with that case.
13
00:00:58.320 --> 00:01:00.359
That's right, And I'm pretty sure every man in America
14
00:01:00.479 --> 00:01:03.280
over the age of forty just crunch and I said that,
15
00:01:04.519 --> 00:01:07.640
and you taw. A woman is charged with attemptive murder
16
00:01:07.680 --> 00:01:11.359
after shooting your ex husband in an indoor playground in
17
00:01:11.439 --> 00:01:15.280
front of dozens of witnesses, including your own children.
18
00:01:15.640 --> 00:01:17.079
That's the right thing to do, right.
19
00:01:17.159 --> 00:01:20.359
We have an update on the Missing Planet fitness trainer
20
00:01:20.519 --> 00:01:23.319
that we brought you, I believe on the last episode.
21
00:01:24.000 --> 00:01:26.519
An eighty eight year old man has sentenced to life
22
00:01:26.560 --> 00:01:30.879
in prison for the murder and dismemberment of his third girlfriend,
23
00:01:31.799 --> 00:01:35.480
this after his two other girlfriends were killed. You're not
24
00:01:35.519 --> 00:01:36.599
going to believe this story?
25
00:01:36.840 --> 00:01:40.040
Oh wow, tell me, you know, just tell me that
26
00:01:40.120 --> 00:01:43.719
something is not going right before three people have to
27
00:01:43.760 --> 00:01:45.040
be murdered, Like, what are we doing here?
28
00:01:45.079 --> 00:01:46.959
Well, we're going to talk about it. And we also
29
00:01:47.000 --> 00:01:52.359
got segments including lustful Lawbreakers, international indiscretions, all of that
30
00:01:52.480 --> 00:01:55.519
today on Crimewire Weekly. I am Jim Chapman.
31
00:01:55.319 --> 00:01:56.760
And I'm Kelly Jennings.
32
00:01:57.120 --> 00:02:00.599
All Right, Kelly, we have a lot of news to today,
33
00:02:00.680 --> 00:02:03.120
so I think we should just jump right into it
34
00:02:03.280 --> 00:02:07.079
and one of you know, the headlines not only locally
35
00:02:07.239 --> 00:02:10.479
but all over the country, are right, I would say
36
00:02:10.479 --> 00:02:14.039
about five minutes ten minutes from where we record in
37
00:02:14.080 --> 00:02:17.919
central Louisiana, and we're going to tell you about prominent
38
00:02:18.000 --> 00:02:23.199
Louisiana pastor Tony Spell, who was arrested this past Tuesday
39
00:02:23.280 --> 00:02:26.840
on a charge of second degree battery after authorities say
40
00:02:26.879 --> 00:02:30.439
he attacked a twenty year old man during a confrontation.
41
00:02:30.680 --> 00:02:34.560
This was captured on surveillance video. Now, according to ebr
42
00:02:34.639 --> 00:02:38.080
Paaris Sheriff's Office. The incident a card around eleven am
43
00:02:38.400 --> 00:02:42.800
on June twenty third, near Hooper Road in Central close
44
00:02:42.879 --> 00:02:47.240
to the Life Tabernacle Church, where Spell serves as a pastor. Now,
45
00:02:47.360 --> 00:02:50.439
Spell is a longtime leader of the church. He was
46
00:02:50.479 --> 00:02:54.120
taken into custody and booked into the parish prison on
47
00:02:54.120 --> 00:02:57.120
one count of second degree battery, which is a felony.
48
00:02:57.439 --> 00:03:01.400
He was later released after posting bombs Now. This arrest
49
00:03:01.680 --> 00:03:05.879
stems from a physical altercation between Spell and the son
50
00:03:06.120 --> 00:03:08.919
of a neighbor with whom the pastor has had an
51
00:03:09.000 --> 00:03:13.039
ongoing feud with that has been going on since COVID y'all.
52
00:03:13.479 --> 00:03:18.039
This victim, identified in reports as Scott Sherwin's son, was
53
00:03:18.120 --> 00:03:22.960
reportedly visiting his grandmother when this confrontation occurred. Now, according
54
00:03:23.000 --> 00:03:26.280
to the Sheriff's office, the victim told deputies he was
55
00:03:26.319 --> 00:03:29.159
in front of his home when he saw Spell across
56
00:03:29.240 --> 00:03:32.560
the street at the church. The young man said he
57
00:03:32.680 --> 00:03:37.479
yelled out fuck you to Spell and that was it. Okay,
58
00:03:37.719 --> 00:03:41.319
that was it. However, Spell then crossed the road onto
59
00:03:41.360 --> 00:03:45.879
the property and allegedly beat him. Now Spell's account of
60
00:03:45.960 --> 00:03:48.960
this is a little bit different. He says that the
61
00:03:49.080 --> 00:03:51.599
kid screamed across the road that he was going to
62
00:03:51.719 --> 00:03:56.639
rape his wife, rape his grandchildren and his daughter, and
63
00:03:56.680 --> 00:03:58.960
he was also going to kill them when Spell went
64
00:03:59.000 --> 00:04:02.840
out of town. And this is supposedly why Spell cross
65
00:04:02.879 --> 00:04:06.479
that road. According to Spell, Now, I saw the full
66
00:04:06.960 --> 00:04:10.680
surveillance video, and what I saw was the pastor crossing
67
00:04:10.719 --> 00:04:13.400
the street, this twenty year old kicking off his shoes
68
00:04:13.800 --> 00:04:17.600
and punching Spell three times before Spell even through the
69
00:04:17.600 --> 00:04:21.040
first punch, and then the pastor pretty much whipping this
70
00:04:21.160 --> 00:04:24.959
twenty year old's ass UFC style even apply to net
71
00:04:25.040 --> 00:04:28.600
crank y'all, which is a UFC move. So the church
72
00:04:28.759 --> 00:04:32.040
in this neighboring family, they've been involved in these disputes
73
00:04:32.079 --> 00:04:36.199
since at least twenty twenty. There's lawsuits over surveillance cameras
74
00:04:36.199 --> 00:04:40.240
and other neighborhood conflicts. And in a brief statement after
75
00:04:40.279 --> 00:04:44.040
his release, Spell toll reporters the truth will come out
76
00:04:44.079 --> 00:04:47.480
in court now. Second degree battery in Louisiana carries a
77
00:04:47.480 --> 00:04:51.079
potential penalty of five years in prison and a fine
78
00:04:51.199 --> 00:04:54.720
up to two thousand dollars, and Spell this isn't his
79
00:04:54.839 --> 00:04:59.480
first time gaining national attention. During COVID nineteen, he was
80
00:04:59.560 --> 00:05:02.519
actually the first church in the state of Louisiana. I
81
00:05:02.519 --> 00:05:03.879
don't know if he was saying only one of the
82
00:05:03.920 --> 00:05:08.040
first one or what, but defied state gathering restrictions at
83
00:05:08.040 --> 00:05:11.199
his church. Uh, and he is not yet entered a
84
00:05:11.319 --> 00:05:13.800
plea in this case. The East Batman each pair of
85
00:05:13.879 --> 00:05:17.240
Sheriff's office confirmed the arrest, but they did say that
86
00:05:17.360 --> 00:05:20.279
the investigation is ongoing.
87
00:05:20.720 --> 00:05:24.279
Yeah, so if you're not from here, then uh, you
88
00:05:24.399 --> 00:05:27.199
probably we're more familiar. I think with that that there's
89
00:05:27.279 --> 00:05:30.079
ongoing bickering back and forth between that's been going on
90
00:05:30.120 --> 00:05:32.959
for a long time. This is gonna make salacious headlines
91
00:05:33.000 --> 00:05:35.160
because A one's you know, he's a pastor, and b
92
00:05:35.319 --> 00:05:36.720
he went over there and they're going to say that
93
00:05:36.759 --> 00:05:39.480
he he just beat up this guy. But we all
94
00:05:39.480 --> 00:05:41.160
have to we got to start from the from the
95
00:05:41.240 --> 00:05:44.600
jump here. And I don't claim to know every conversation
96
00:05:44.759 --> 00:05:47.279
or argument or dispute that's gone on between this pastor
97
00:05:47.600 --> 00:05:50.480
and these neighbors, but it's been pretty clear for a
98
00:05:50.519 --> 00:05:55.480
long time that the neighbors have been agitators of the church.
99
00:05:55.560 --> 00:05:58.199
From what I understand, this is allegedly, Yeah, this is
100
00:05:58.199 --> 00:06:00.920
allegedly because obviously I was not there, but it seems
101
00:06:00.920 --> 00:06:04.560
to be the mumblings amongst people here that that's been
102
00:06:04.639 --> 00:06:08.519
going on for a long time. So they're framing this like, oh,
103
00:06:08.560 --> 00:06:11.240
this young guy is just visiting his grandmother, like this
104
00:06:11.279 --> 00:06:13.439
is some kind of wholesome thing. But if you watch
105
00:06:13.480 --> 00:06:15.839
the parts of the video that I've seen, he's out front,
106
00:06:15.839 --> 00:06:19.120
he's got his cell phone up, and he's obviously yelling
107
00:06:19.160 --> 00:06:22.199
something to get the attention of the pastor, and he
108
00:06:22.279 --> 00:06:25.680
is antagonizing this pastor. And it's real easy, I think,
109
00:06:25.680 --> 00:06:27.879
to jump right now and say, oh my god, what
110
00:06:28.000 --> 00:06:30.079
kind of pastor goes and throws a punch. Well, I'm
111
00:06:30.079 --> 00:06:32.120
gonna tell you the kind that does, the kind that's
112
00:06:32.120 --> 00:06:36.360
not playing behind his family anymore. And I'm more inclined
113
00:06:36.360 --> 00:06:39.480
to believe this pastor on what was yelled out, even
114
00:06:39.519 --> 00:06:42.319
if it was just fuck you. Why are you doing that?
115
00:06:42.839 --> 00:06:44.680
Why are you doing that? Why are you out in
116
00:06:44.759 --> 00:06:47.439
your front yard holding up a cell phone trying to
117
00:06:47.480 --> 00:06:50.480
agitate someone and then acting all shocked and bothered in
118
00:06:50.519 --> 00:06:53.519
a wounded bird when a pastor comes over and whips
119
00:06:53.560 --> 00:06:57.399
your ass. You know, I think, should we hit one another?
120
00:06:57.439 --> 00:06:59.519
We all know you shouldn't do that, But then again,
121
00:07:00.279 --> 00:07:02.800
there's a limit that any man worth his salt is
122
00:07:02.839 --> 00:07:05.040
gonna take, and especially when it comes to his children,
123
00:07:05.079 --> 00:07:09.319
his grandchildren and his wife. And so again, good bad
124
00:07:09.319 --> 00:07:12.680
are indifferent. I am not mad at the pastor right
125
00:07:12.720 --> 00:07:15.800
now based on things that I have personally, you know,
126
00:07:16.120 --> 00:07:19.160
been told, heard and mumblings over the last few years.
127
00:07:19.480 --> 00:07:22.959
Yeah, and you know, I'll say this number one, if
128
00:07:23.360 --> 00:07:26.439
the allegations that Tommy Spell are saying are true in
129
00:07:26.480 --> 00:07:29.480
this in this kid was saying the things that he's said.
130
00:07:29.600 --> 00:07:33.399
This kid was saying, anybody's gonna whip his ass. Yeah, anybody.
131
00:07:33.439 --> 00:07:37.160
He deserved an ass whipping. But you know what, I
132
00:07:37.279 --> 00:07:43.120
have seen video of past things that this the Sherwins
133
00:07:43.600 --> 00:07:46.639
have done. Uh, I've seen it on video. I've seen
134
00:07:46.720 --> 00:07:51.680
the father grabbing his nutsack for lack of a better term,
135
00:07:51.720 --> 00:07:54.560
when somebody was filming him. I've seen him flipping the
136
00:07:54.639 --> 00:07:58.399
bird when somebody was filming him. Uh. You know, the
137
00:07:58.399 --> 00:08:01.519
apple don't fall far from the tree, right, And so
138
00:08:02.000 --> 00:08:05.000
that doesn't surprise me the way this kid was acting.
139
00:08:05.000 --> 00:08:08.560
But if you're yelling those things, every action has a reaction.
140
00:08:09.279 --> 00:08:12.519
And Tony Spell, though he's a pastor, is also a
141
00:08:12.639 --> 00:08:18.040
human he's not God. Okay, he's trying to be godly,
142
00:08:18.199 --> 00:08:21.639
but every man has a limit. And this kid passed
143
00:08:21.680 --> 00:08:24.959
the limit with this pastor apparently, and this twenty year
144
00:08:25.000 --> 00:08:26.639
old and I call him a kid, he's twenty years
145
00:08:26.600 --> 00:08:29.079
and he's not a kid. He got his ass whip.
146
00:08:29.639 --> 00:08:32.440
And that's exactly what you should expect when you tell
147
00:08:32.480 --> 00:08:35.440
someone allegedly that you're going to rape their wives and
148
00:08:35.559 --> 00:08:37.600
kids and kill them and things like that. Because I
149
00:08:37.639 --> 00:08:42.000
promise you across me like that, I'm probably gonna beat
150
00:08:42.000 --> 00:08:44.200
you up a little worse than Tony did. Tony showed
151
00:08:44.200 --> 00:08:48.080
you a little favor he gave.
152
00:08:52.039 --> 00:08:56.000
You know, I'm very very hard pressed to believe that
153
00:08:56.200 --> 00:08:59.039
all that guy yelled out was FU and that pastor
154
00:08:59.080 --> 00:09:01.360
came across that highway the way that he did.
155
00:09:01.480 --> 00:09:04.360
Yeah, I'm saying, I'm sorry, I'm not going to believe
156
00:09:04.360 --> 00:09:07.960
a twenty year old kid over the pastor.
157
00:09:09.039 --> 00:09:11.799
But even if he wasn't a pastor, like, even if
158
00:09:11.799 --> 00:09:13.919
it was just man to man, I have a very
159
00:09:14.039 --> 00:09:16.000
very hard time what was man to man? You know
160
00:09:16.000 --> 00:09:17.759
what I'm trying to say, Even if that title wasn't there,
161
00:09:17.960 --> 00:09:20.720
I'm very hard pressed when you watch the body language
162
00:09:20.759 --> 00:09:22.960
of how he came across that highway to believe that
163
00:09:23.039 --> 00:09:25.440
was in response to f you like, give me a break.
164
00:09:26.559 --> 00:09:29.200
And you see these comments online and these people are
165
00:09:29.240 --> 00:09:31.879
saying things like, well, he's a pastor and they're not
166
00:09:31.919 --> 00:09:35.440
supposed to do that. The people are human, man ain't
167
00:09:35.480 --> 00:09:38.799
nobody out here. Jesus Christ. There's only one Jesus Christ.
168
00:09:38.960 --> 00:09:42.159
That's the only one above approach to the point that
169
00:09:42.440 --> 00:09:44.639
you can pretty much do anything to him and they
170
00:09:44.679 --> 00:09:47.480
can be who they are, and that's Jesus. And if
171
00:09:47.519 --> 00:09:49.480
you know the New Testament, then you know what I'm
172
00:09:49.519 --> 00:09:54.679
talking about. But Tommy Spell is not Jesus. And he'd
173
00:09:54.679 --> 00:09:57.360
be the first to say that. And he has a limit. Look,
174
00:09:57.440 --> 00:10:00.639
and this kid cross the limit. He probably need his ass.
175
00:10:01.240 --> 00:10:05.320
Sometimes you have to lay hands on people to pray
176
00:10:05.320 --> 00:10:05.639
for them.
177
00:10:06.000 --> 00:10:07.240
I got no problem with it.
178
00:10:07.320 --> 00:10:08.080
I am mad either.
179
00:10:08.600 --> 00:10:11.519
To be honest with you, I think that you got
180
00:10:11.519 --> 00:10:13.559
what was coming to you. If that's the things you
181
00:10:13.600 --> 00:10:14.080
were saying.
182
00:10:14.200 --> 00:10:15.919
Yeah, and if you don't want to get your ass beat,
183
00:10:15.960 --> 00:10:16.440
shut up.
184
00:10:16.720 --> 00:10:19.960
Yeah, how's that? Put your flip flops back on? Kick
185
00:10:20.039 --> 00:10:23.799
this flip flops off like he's a UFC champion and
186
00:10:24.279 --> 00:10:28.039
took three swings on a nearly fifty year old man
187
00:10:28.159 --> 00:10:31.679
and he found out real quick, tore up real quick.
188
00:10:31.759 --> 00:10:34.519
Yeah all right, So we're gonna just go a little
189
00:10:34.519 --> 00:10:35.960
bit further down the road and we're gonna go to
190
00:10:35.960 --> 00:10:38.799
Baton Rouge. So just one perish over. But a fifty
191
00:10:38.840 --> 00:10:42.519
one year old man has been re arrested and charged
192
00:10:42.559 --> 00:10:45.399
with first degree murder in connection with the death of
193
00:10:45.480 --> 00:10:49.240
fifteen year old Jadarius Miniweather, who has been missing since
194
00:10:49.320 --> 00:10:52.960
early June. Maurice Palms was taken into custody on June
195
00:10:52.960 --> 00:10:57.080
twentieth after investigators executed multiple search warrants at his residence,
196
00:10:57.279 --> 00:10:59.559
and he was booked into the jail or the prison
197
00:10:59.639 --> 00:11:03.559
rather on one count of first degree murder now. Jadarius
198
00:11:03.600 --> 00:11:05.679
mini Weather was last seen in the early morning hours
199
00:11:05.679 --> 00:11:09.240
of June the fifth, and according to investigators, the teenager
200
00:11:09.279 --> 00:11:11.360
had gone to visit a sixteen year old girl that
201
00:11:11.440 --> 00:11:15.000
he knew, and police say a confrontation occurred between many
202
00:11:15.039 --> 00:11:19.200
Weather and Palms at that location. Surveillance video obtained during
203
00:11:19.200 --> 00:11:23.960
the investigation reportedly shows a violent altercation and subsequent efforts
204
00:11:23.960 --> 00:11:28.120
to dispose of evidence, including a child's bicycle, clothing, and
205
00:11:28.200 --> 00:11:32.440
other items. Investigators also reported finding bloodstains at the scene
206
00:11:32.679 --> 00:11:36.080
and evidence of blood being cleaned from a vehicle. So
207
00:11:36.159 --> 00:11:39.279
Palms initially told investigators that he left the area before
208
00:11:39.399 --> 00:11:42.240
eleven pm on June fourth and did not leave his
209
00:11:42.279 --> 00:11:45.360
home the following morning, but police say that video evidence
210
00:11:45.399 --> 00:11:50.759
contradicted that statement. Now specifically, the warrant said quote, Detectives
211
00:11:50.759 --> 00:11:53.200
believe that many Weather was caught in a confrontation with
212
00:11:53.279 --> 00:11:56.200
Palms where he was killed. In the struggle, It's believed
213
00:11:56.200 --> 00:11:59.120
that Palms stashed the body and he threw away evidence,
214
00:11:59.360 --> 00:12:02.360
came back to Teve evidence and possibly the victim's body,
215
00:12:02.559 --> 00:12:06.559
and transported them elsewhere in his mentioned vehicle. He's charged
216
00:12:06.559 --> 00:12:08.759
with first degree murder due to the high amount of
217
00:12:08.799 --> 00:12:11.000
planning cover up and the fact that he was in
218
00:12:11.000 --> 00:12:13.679
the process of second degree cruelty to a juvenile during
219
00:12:13.720 --> 00:12:16.320
the beating when he is believed to have been killed.
220
00:12:16.840 --> 00:12:19.519
So on June thirteenth, he was arrested and charged on
221
00:12:20.759 --> 00:12:24.240
with indecent behavior with a juvenile and computer aided solicitation
222
00:12:24.360 --> 00:12:28.360
of a minor after investigators discovered messages between him and
223
00:12:28.399 --> 00:12:30.840
a sixteen year old girl, which is the same girl
224
00:12:31.200 --> 00:12:35.960
that Judarius was going to visit. So he posted a
225
00:12:36.000 --> 00:12:38.559
seventy five hundred dollars bond, and he was released before
226
00:12:38.559 --> 00:12:42.440
being rearrested the following week. Following the execution of search
227
00:12:42.480 --> 00:12:45.320
warrants at palms home on June twentieth and the twenty first,
228
00:12:45.600 --> 00:12:48.399
investigators say that they were able to recover additional evidence
229
00:12:48.639 --> 00:12:51.600
and Palms was subsequently charged with the first degree murder.
230
00:12:51.799 --> 00:12:54.919
According to court documents, the charges based on allegations that
231
00:12:54.960 --> 00:12:58.200
the killing involved this planning and cover up and occurred
232
00:12:58.360 --> 00:13:01.720
during that cruelty to the juveni Now. During a press conference,
233
00:13:02.200 --> 00:13:04.879
Baton Rouge Police Chief TJ. Moore said that all evidence
234
00:13:04.879 --> 00:13:08.159
points to a violent attack that resulted in many Weather's death.
235
00:13:08.639 --> 00:13:11.279
As of this recording rate that we're doing right now,
236
00:13:11.320 --> 00:13:14.879
the victim's body has not been located. On June twenty second,
237
00:13:15.200 --> 00:13:19.000
the East Baton Rouge Parish Commissioner Corey Tozan denied bond
238
00:13:19.159 --> 00:13:23.159
for Palms during his first appearance, and the investigation remains active,
239
00:13:23.200 --> 00:13:27.639
with searches continuing in multiple locations, including areas in West Feliciana.
240
00:13:27.679 --> 00:13:30.759
Parish Mayor President said Edwards has urged the community to
241
00:13:30.759 --> 00:13:33.960
come forward with any information and said that authorities are
242
00:13:34.000 --> 00:13:37.799
determined to find the teenager. So anyone with information is
243
00:13:37.840 --> 00:13:40.639
asked to call crime stoppers. You know that number here,
