Man is Arrested for Pulling a Knife at Church

West Virginia police have arrested a Georgia man they say pulled a knife on a missionary group in church after he was asked to silence his cellphone. According to The Register-Herald in Beckley, 26-year-old Bernard B. Edmond of Georgia, is charged in Wednesday’s incident at Nehemiah Baptist Church in Cool Ridge, in unincorporated Raleigh County. Witnesses told police Edmond flipped tables, threw chairs and chased others with the knife. The complaint said some members barricaded themselves in a back room and others lured Edmond outside, where officers found him holding the knife and restrained him with a stun gun. Edmond is in jail on a $50,000 bond.
