Pastor arrested during church service over marital battles

Prophet EJ Newton, the leader of the 433 Church in Miami, is trending after officers apparently stormed a live church service to effect his arrest following a report from his ex-wife.

The suprised man of God then told his congregation to keep praying and then left the altar to meet the police outside.

The viral video which surfaced on social media had a caption indicating that EJ Newton was in trouble for kidnapping.

“Police stop church service in an attempt to arrest Prophet EJ Newton on kidnapping charges,” read one IG post.

It was alleged the man of God failed to return his children following a visit, leading to his ex-wife informing the authorities.

The pastor later explained that his attempted arrest was related to a child custody battle with his ex-wife, who reported to authorities that he was trying to flee the country amid a parenting schedule case.
