Sutherland Springs conspiracy theorists charged, released
Arrested after an altercation with the pastor of First Baptist Church of Sutherland Springs on church grounds Monday, conspiracy theorists Robert Ussery, 54, and Jodi Mann, 56, were charged with trespassing and resisting arrest, officials said Tuesday.
Ussery, whose Side Thorn website is dedicated to the belief that the Nov. 5 mass shooting at the church was a government-inspired hoax, was also charged with possessing under 2 ounces of marijuana and making a terroristic threat, a class B misdemeanor.
On Wednesday, the Wilson County Sheriffs office confirmed that the two had been released from jail Tuesday morning. Usserys bail amount totalled $9,000, while Manns totalled $5,500.
Ussery was charged with terroristic threat because he told the pastor, Frank Pomeroy, that he would hang him and fellow congregant Rod Green, who was also present, according to a charging affidavit.
