On Sunday, October 27th, three men were observed taking photographs outside the church of the mosaic on the front of our building. One man entered the building, was welcomed by our ushers and invited to join the service which was already in progress. Initially, he declined, but later two of the three young men entered the sanctuary approximately 40 minutes after the service had begun, walked down the center aisle and sat in the front pew. Our pastor, Dr. David Hull, was already preaching the sermon at this point. One of the men removed a cell phone and appeared to be videotaping and/or taking photographs. At no time were the men confronted or asked to leave the service. They remained in the service for approximately 10 minutes, at which time they got up, walked out the center aisle and left the service....Joshua Chukwuedozie Ude, 23, was arrested in the parking lot of the church, located at 600 Governors Drive, after Huntsville police said he was questioned about disruptive behavior during a service inside. Police said he became uncooperative and refused to leave....After leaving the building on their own initiative, an incident occurred in the parking lot involving the young men and uniformed police officers.
The perp:

This happened at First Baptist Church of Panama City this past Sunday. The man is known to visit our church campus when not in jail. He got up in the beginning of the message and started yelling. It took two Police officers and several security guards to subdue the person in our church. Our pastor kept on preacher and never even paused. They dragged him out of the sanctuary and arrested him. We believe for punching the sheriff. The facts of the two incidents are very similar.
