'I am not guilty of defying any orders,' Spell said Tuesday. 'The only thing I am guilty of is practicing my faith which was given to me by Jesus Christ himself.'

Spell claimed in a Monday phone interview with WAFB that Bennett had been standing"in front of my church driveway for three weeks now. He shoots people obscene finger gestures and shouts vulgarities."

According to Spell's arrest warrant, Bennett said"he was in fear for his life because he thought the bus wasn't going to stop, he thought the bus was trying to run over him." Spell turned himself into the Central Police Department where he was arrested on one count of aggravated assault and improper backing, according to a post on the Department's Facebook page. Within hours, Spell had posted bond and was released."A half a dozen officers handcuffed me, put me in the back of the car and booked me into East Parish Baton Rouge Prison," Spell said.

Spell also declared his innocence, saying he was"not guilty of any charges I have been accused of. I am not guilty of defying any orders. The only thing I am guilty of is practicing my faith which was given to me by Jesus Christ himself." Spell then said he would hold a service Tuesday night at Life Tabernacle Church.reached out to Life Tabernacle Church and the office of Louisiana Governor John Bel Edwards for comment.
