The pastor of a Tampa, Florida church is now facing charges after refusing to shut down despite an order in Hillsborough County for people to stay at home, intended to stop the spread of the CCP virus.
Hillsborough County Sheriff Chad Chronister and State Attorney Andrew Warren announced an arrest warrant for Pastor Rodney Howard-Browne on charges of unlawful assembly and violation of public health emergency order. A number of states and locales have implemented emergency orders to curb the spread of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) virus, a type of coronavirus that causes COVID-19.
