Yes, condorman's post 845 has a link (spanked) to another creationist site that takes him to task.

Not that Hovind is a bonafide quack, but it does remind us of the simple fact that both sides of this issue are populated with their share of charlatans. Hovind is not the worst on the Creationist side and is actually pretty good in many areas. But he does associate himself with some teachings and teachers that only damage his credibility.

Update on Hovind and Law: Arrest for assault, batt

Kent Hovind was arrested for assault, battery, and burglary on August 15, 2002. Documentation for this can be found online at the Escambia County Florida Clerk of the Circuit Court. The police report can be found within this discussion thread.

Of course this is not the first time Hovind has been in trouble with the law. Many "Skeptic News" readers will be aware of his attempts to evade income taxes via lying and abuse of bankruptcy courts. See the decision of the court.

He is also in a legal dispute with Escambia County for failure to get a building permit. As longtime readers of "Skeptic News" know, he claims to have spent many thousands of dollars fighting a trivial fine.

Perhaps he needs more than just being "taken to task"....

And perhaps he's more than just a "charlatan"....
