Cross-carrying 'missionary' busted for having fist fight during walk across America
[NYPOST] A "missionary" carrying a cross on his shoulder during a 2,000-mile walk across America is accused of not turning the other cheek — as he allegedly got into a fist fight with a passing motorist and wound up being arrested.
Jesse Michael Boyd, 46, of Vale, was completing the multi-state trek for Full Proof Gospel Ministries alongside his teenage daughter, young son, and two other missionaries when they got the fisticuffs with driver outside Cameron, Montana on Nov. 12.
"He told us we weren’t welcomed in Montana," Boyd told Channel 9’s Dan Faherty of the fight, which he said started when the driver scolded them for where they parked their 2022 Subaru. "He told us there were rifles trained on us and if we moved, we’d be shot."
Although the argument seemed to calm down when the driver — later identified as Bradley Terrell — put his gun away, Boyd said Terrell proceeded to shove him into the ground.
Taking the phrase "do unto others" to new heights, Boyd, his daughter, and fellow missionaries Eric Anthony Trent, 27, and Carter Norman Phillips, 20, proceeded to strike Terrell several times with a flagpole.
All four were subsequently arrested and charged with felony aggravated assault. Although Boyd and his family have returned home to Vale, he continues to wear an ankle monitor as he awaits proceedings from the Montana prosecutors.
