Pastor Charged With Assaulting Law Enforcement Officer Following Property Dispute
October 25, 2010 at 12:50 pm by MorbidLADDONIA, MO. -- I learned of this story from one of our members after she made a Facebook comment about it. After doing a little checking this morning, it looked like enough material for a front page post. The pastor of Laddonia Christian Church is facing first degree assault of a law enforcement officer charges following a property dispute. Police say they arrived at the church Friday night to find pastor Ryan Finley Price, 53, pacing outside and holding a semi-automatic handgun. They found church member and law enforcement officer Noel Scott, 61, face down on the ground with serious neck and head injuries they say were caused by him being struck with a blunt object. Scott told police Price told him that if he moved, he’d kill him. Scott was life flighted to the university hospital in Columbia. Price was also charged with armed criminal action, felonious restraint and unlawful possession of a firearm. I couldn’t find any details into what the dispute was about so please, feel free to speculate.
