Florida Pastor and Son Arrested In Capitol Riot After Congregant Provided Evidence to FBI

A Florida pastor and his son were arrested in connection with the Capitol riot on Thursday after a congregant provided evidence to the FBI.

James Varnell Cusick Jr., 72, and his son Casey Cusick, 35, both pastors at the Global Outreach Ministries church in Melbourne, face charges of knowingly entering or remaining in any restricted building or grounds without lawful authority; disorderly or disruptive conduct in a restricted building; and violent entry and disorderly conduct on Capitol grounds.

David Lesperance, a 68-year-old congregant of their church, was allegedly with the two pastors on January 6 and faces similar charges.

Following their arrest, the three suspects made their initial appearance in front of a District Court judge in Orlando on Thursday afternoon.

Actually just beware of churches in general but especially the ones where the pastors are related by blood, or they're married. When I lived in Tulsa, I would see some billboards for churches of a close up of the faces of the married pastors inviting me to come worship with them and have a warning light going off in my head.

Also beware of churches that have billboards.
