Teen Arrested While Preaching the Gospel During Drag Queen Event

A young man who was reportedly arrested while protesting a drag show last weekend is vowing to challenge his detainment and the resulting financial penalties. Marcus Schroeder, 19, told CBN's Faithwire he was taken into custody by police July 29 in Watertown, Wisconsin, while sharing the Gospel at a "Pride in the Park" event.

"We were there to preach the Gospel, have a public witness against the drag queen story hour that was going on," he said. "So, I turned on my speaker. I was on the public sidewalk [and] started reading from Galatians 5, which is just a passage about what true love is." Schroeder said police officers started coming over to him and "without saying anything" and with "no warning" he said one of the cops tried to stop him.

"An officer just comes up and starts grabbing my arm, twisting my arm to try and grab the microphone away from me," he said. "And then a few moments later, an officer behind me grabs my other arm and they handcuff me and they take me away." Schroeder was charged with using amplification without a permit and resisting arrest. Now, he says he's prepared to get an attorney and fight back.
