Man Assaults Woman At Church
Reidsville, NC — A church service was interrupted Sunday when a man assaulted one of the members. Just after 2:00pm Rockingham County Deputies responded to Solomon’s Temple Church in Reidsville for a reported disturbance. Pastor Ron Galloway explained how Antonio Simmons assaulted one of his members during service. The victim said Simmons grabbed her arm, pulled her hair and choked her. Pastor Galloway asked Simmons to leave, but he refused. That’s when several members of the congregation physically took Simmons out to the parking lot. He still refused to leave church premises, but ended up leaving just before deputies arrived. Around 4:00pm Sunday, a deputy found Simmons traveling in a red pick-up truck with about a dozen other people. He was arrested without incident.
