Aubrie Johnson on Pastor Tony Spell, a DeSoto County DUI Fallout, and Speaking Out on Sex Crimes

On the Local Yokels podcast, Neil and guest Aubrie Johnson discuss two major controversies: Louisiana Pastor Tony Spell’s long-running conflict with neighbors and authorities after expanding his church outreach to low-income communities via dozens of buses, and a recent incident where he allegedly beat a 20-year-old neighbor after vulgar threats toward his family. They then shift to DeSoto County topics, including backlash over a DUI arrest involving a supporter of a convicted sex offender, frustration with court outcomes and delays, and the importance of keeping public attention on indicted cases and technicalities like remands. Aubrie also mentions receiving unwanted religious mail and visits after someone shared her address, and calls out critics who attack her for speaking up about exploitation, trafficking, and abuse.
