Georgia pastor arrested protesting 'Demon' mascot
WARNER ROBINS, Ga. (AP) — Warner Robins police say they've charged
pastor Donald Crosby with picketing without a license for protesting
Warner Robins High School's "Demon" nickname and mascot.
Police spokeswoman Tabitha Pugh says 36-year-old Crosby was arrested on
Monday after police told him he didn't have a permit, as required by
the city.
Crosby and supporters set up the protest outside the school on the
opening day of classes because of their opposition to the nickname. He
says his son attends the school and he doesn't want him exposed to the
name's connotations.
Pugh says Crosby, of Kingdom Builders Church of Jesus Christ, is
charged with picketing without a license and disorderly conduct for not
leaving when asked. Crosby was released from the Houston County jail on
bond. He did not immediately return a telephone call seeking comment.
