Officers stormed a live church service to arrest a pastor after receiving a report from his ex-wife, causing a minor drama at a US church.
Officers off-camera could be heard asking to talk with Prophet EJ Newton, the head of the 433 Church in Miami, as he was preaching.
After telling his congregation to continue praying, the startled “man of God” departed the altar to meet the police outside.
The caption of the social media video that went viral said that EJ Newton was facing charges of kidnapping.
“Police stop church service in an attempt to arrest Prophet EJ Newton on kidnapping charges,” read one IG post.
The man of God was accused of neglecting to return his children after a visit, which prompted his ex-wife to notify the authorities.
The pastor subsequently clarified that his attempted arrest was connected to a dispute over child custody with his ex-wife, who told police that he was attempting to leave the country in the midst of a parenting schedule dispute.
