Ezra Dulis<\/a> – September 20, 2020<\/p>\n

Police in Moscow, Idaho, arrested three people Wednesday for violating social distancing rules as their church sang hymns and Bible psalms outdoors \u2014 an event held, in part, to protest the city mayor\u2019s mask mandate<\/a>, which runs to January 2021.<\/p>\n

Officers arrested Gabriel Rench, Rachel Bohnet, and Sean Bohnet, according to Moscow Report<\/a>, a local independent news outlet. A video<\/a> uploaded to social media shows Bohnet, a local music teacher, and his wife telling officers they refused to comply with an inaudible order. Moscow Report says the apparent infraction is that they refused to show identification.<\/p>\n

Update:<\/strong> The Moscow Police Department\u2019s daily activity log<\/a> lists the reasons for the arrests as \u201cpublic health emergency order\u201d violations.<\/em><\/p>\n

Footage of the couple\u2019s arrest shows the church body singing the hymn \u201cPraise God from Whom All Blessings Flow\u201d as officers place them in handcuffs.<\/p>\n

Rench is a co-host of Cross Politic, a Christian political talk show, and a candidate for county commissioner. \u201cYou guys should not be doing this,\u201d he told officers as they walked him to a squad car. \u201cAnd doing this kind of crap for the mayor, this is embarrassing. You guys are stronger than this.\u201d<\/p>\n

Released that same day, Rench appeared on his talk show to discuss the arrest, playing extended footage of his conversation with officers. One of his companions is heard telling the officers \u201cWe backed you guys\u201d at recent Black Lives Matter protests advocating to defund the police. \u201cThey didn\u2019t send you [to enforce social distancing] with BLM to go do that when they said defund you guys. We backed you guys.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI got booked in jail; I was in jail for about two hours,\u201d he said. \u201cAnd as they were de-booking me, or whatever they call it, I\u2019m walking out and I go by their office, which is right next to where I\u2019m getting booked out. And there\u2019s three deputies in the officer, and two of them aren\u2019t wearing masks and sitting right next to each other. And I said, \u2018hey, should they get arrested?’\u201d<\/p>\n
