Tulsa Baptist minister arrested for offering to do a Lewinsky
Ye Gods, can this be true?
OKLAHOMA CITY -- An executive committee member of the Southern Baptist Convention was arrested on a lewdness charge for propositioning a plainclothes policeman outside a hotel, police said. Lonnie Latham, senior pastor at South Tulsa Baptist Church, was booked into Oklahoma County Jail Tuesday night on a misdemeanor charge of offering to engage in an act of lewdness, police Capt. Jeffrey Becker said.
Latham was released on $500 bail Wednesday afternoon. Latham, who has spoken out against homosexuality, asked the officer to join him in his hotel room for oral sex. Latham was arrested and his 2005 Mercedes automobile was impounded, Becker said.
Calls to Latham at his church were not immediately returned Wednesday.
Latham is one of four Southern Baptist Convention executive committee members from Oklahoma.When he left jail, he said: "I was set up. I was in the area pastoring to police."
Taking that whole 'love thy neighbor' bit just a trifle too far there, aren't we, Reverend? Nice car, by the way - what would Jesus drive on his, um, 'pastoring missions'?
