2 arrested in alleged dragging of girl behind van at boot camp

Associated Press

BANQUETE, Texas - The director of a Christian boot camp and an
employee were arrested Friday for allegedly dragging a 15-year-old
girl behind a van after she fell behind the group during a morning
run, authorities said.

Charles Eugene Flowers and Stephanie Bassitt of San Antonio-based Love
Demonstrated Ministries, a 32-day boot camp, were arrested on
aggravated assault charges for the alleged June 12 incident.

The two are accused of tying the girl to the van with a rope then
dragging her, according to an arrest affidavit filed Wednesday by the
Nueces County Sheriff's Department.

Both remained in Nueces County Jail late Friday on $100,000 bond each.

A call to Love Demonstrated Ministries was not immediately returned
Friday. No listing was found for Bassitt. An answering machine at a
listing for Flowers cut off during an attempt to leave a message
Friday.

Flowers, the camp's director, allegedly ordered Bassitt to run
alongside the girl after she fell behind, the affidavit said. When the
girl stopped running, Bassitt allegedly yelled at her and pinned her
to the ground while Flowers tied the rope to her, according to the
affidavit.

The girl's mother gave investigators photos of her daughter's injuries
that were taken at a hospital where the girl was treated and a sworn
statement from a witness who claimed to see the girl being dragged on
her stomach at least three times.

"Love Demonstrated Ministries" doesn't demonstrate much love. The people
responsible for that need to go to jail.

With Bubba as a cell mate ;P

And I hope that when he gets out, Bubba is waiting for at the gate in a
pickup truck. :-P

To take him home as a "pet"?

You have the wrong emphasis:

"love DEMON-strated MINI-stries"

If there were demons, they'd complain to their union that these bastards
were stealing their jobs.

Unfortunately, the Teamsters' Union has lost clout lately.

What was really bad was this evening's news when they interviewed a man
who attended the church where the pastor worked. He hemmed and hawed
for almost 20 seconds, which is a looooong time for a local news show.
He said it was bad, it was awful, it sounded serious, but in the end he
basically said it was a church, and they probably had a good reason for
what they did.

I expect that they did have good reason.
The same good reason that da mafia have for their demonstrations of
violence.
