Religion O They Will Know We Are Christians…

…by our… holy shit, where do you start?
Pastor Herman Lewis, 50, whose double life unraveled last year when he was arrested after a fracas at a Spokane diner, was convicted today on attempted rape and assault charges…. Lewis, then pastor of Morning Star Baptist Church, went on a rampage on April 30, 2007, after he offered a cook at a local Shari’s restaurant $50 to sleep with him. When she declined, he reportedly grabbed the woman and tried to drag her out of the restaurant. An elderly customer tried to intervene and punched Lewis. Lewis then punched him in the face.Lewis then went across the street to a McDonald’s, later telling police he had been looking for another woman with whom to have sex. He walked out of the restaurant alone and was confronted by a police officer. After a struggle, Lewis fled the scene, leading police on a 10-block chase in a 2007 Corvette before he was stopped by spike strips at Indiana and Division.
It’s the detail about the car that really makes this one sing.
Thanks to Slog tipper Cynthia.
UPDATE: This earlier story about Rev. Lewis includes a detail about his arrest that was missing from the report above…
A Spokane pastor was Tasered after allegedly assaulting several people at a restaurant, ramming a patrol car at another and then leading officers on a chase in a silver Corvette.
And per your requests in comments, some pictures of the not-so-good reverend…
where are teh mugshots!!1!?
Dan, it would be greatly appreciated if you provide pictures of the creeps in these posts whenever they're over the age of 35 and under the age of 52.
Thanks!
You can really score in a Corvette.
yeah, a mugshot, please. this reads like an amusing cross between mid-life crisis and psychotic break.
@2 that's a very specific age range Mr. Poe, any reason he should sort them by age?
@5 oh how we all wish you hadn't asked that
It's too early in the morning to have "It's the end of the world as we know it" stuck in my head.
"O they will know we are Christians...but I feel fine..."
...he tried to run over two police officers.
He also told the detective he had a gun in his car and he should have used it to kill police.
the self-destruct urge is strong in this one, obi-wan.
@Picture
K. I take back #2. Please forgive me.
now can we get a video of the tasering, please?
I blame rock and roll.
Where is the cell phone video? can we get pictures of the crashed 'vette in the police impound lot? Maybe with a long lens we can see the interior? Maybe he had a bumper sticker such as "God is my wingman" or "the key to heaven is beneath my belt buckle"?
He might have had more luck at the Zip's across the street.
Who among us wouldn't sleep with the guy for $50? He drives a 'vette, plays guitar AND has the keys to the church, for Christ's sake. That guy was wronged, I tell you, wronged.
Is it just me, or does Pastor Lewis bear more than a passing resemblance to Pastor Hutch?
Anybody ever see them together at parties?
go spokane!
Somebody put meth in the communion wine.
I miss spokie. :)
(seriously, I kinda do, Albuquerque will do that to a girl)
I was wondering when this was going to show up.
It's funny because gay atheists never have problems with mental illness.
But just imagine how folks would act if there weren't an omniscient sky god laying down an absolute moral code.
Oh, and how can you not outrun the whole damned world with a 2007 Corvette?
I've said it before and I will say it again: That's my hometown, all right. Yay for the Kan.
