Street preacher arrested during race
CLEARWATER, Fla. (AP) _ Authorities say a street preacher almost hit several runners with a Bible during a holiday race in Clearwater.
Police say 48-year-old Mark Alan Sutto was delivering a street sermon when he interfered with the Turkey Trot 10K on Thursday by shouting at runners, getting in their way and waving a large Bible in their path.
An arrest report says Sutto refused to stop disturbing the run, even after several warnings. He was arrested and charged with disorderly conduct.
He remained in jail Saturday on $150 bail.
