Tampa’s controversial Pastor Rodney Howard-Browne is now a wanted man after holding services Sunday at his River Church — openly defying the law and science during the coronavirus pandemic.
Pastor Browne bragged during the service that River Church would remain open for the duration … but TMZ has learned the Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Dept. now has a warrant for the Pastor’s arrest.
According to records, he’s wanted for unlawful assembly. Although he boasted, “The only time the church will close is when the Rapture is taking place” … the fact is the County had already issued a “safer at home” order requiring gatherings of no more than 10 people.
The rule also stated that people were not to stand within 6 feet of one another … another clear violation in video from the church’s service.
At this point, it does not appear that Browne has turned himself in to cops.
