Baptist Minister Fails In Attempt To Violate All Ten Commandments

A Baptist minister has been charged in Tennessee with indecent exposure and driving under the influence. Police said 58-year-old Tommy Tester of Bristol, Va., was wearing a skirt when he was arrested last week after allegedly relieving himself in front of children at a car wash.

According to the police report, Tester offered police officers oral sex and had an open bottle of vodka and an empty oxycodone prescription bottle in his car when he was arrested. Authorities identified Tester as the minister of Gospel Baptist Church in Bristol and an employee of Christian radio station WZAP-AM, also in Bristol.

The radio station’s owner, Al Morris, issued a statement saying, "We do not know all the details and facts concerning the arrest; but for the time being Tommy has been relieved of his responsibilities at the station until such facts surrounding the case are determined. We pray that this matter can be quickly resolved. In the meantime, we ask you to pray for Tommy and for WZAP."

Tester was released on $1,000 bail. A hearing is scheduled for October.
