MULBERRY, Fla. — Law enforcement officers arrested a Florida pastor Wednesday as he drove to a park to light nearly 3,000 Korans on fire to protest the Sept. 11 attacks.
Polk County sheriff’s deputies arrested Pastor Terry Jones, 61, and his associate pastor, Marvin Sapp Jr., 44, each on a felony charge of unlawful conveyance of fuel as they traveled in a pickup towing a barbecue-style grill filled with Korans soaked in kerosene.
Jones had said he was heading to a nearby park to burn 2,998 Korans — one for every victim of the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks.
