Fullerton police have arrested three boys suspected of attacking a minister and his family as they were driving to his church.
The suspects were arrested shortly after the Friday night attack on Willie Holmes, president and founder of International Nondenominational Assemblies, but their arrests weren't revealed until Sunday.
Each of the boys was booked on suspicion of felony vandalism, assault with a deadly weapon and being a gang member.
Their names were withheld because of the their ages.
Holmes had said a group of youths stepped in front of his car Friday night and began throwing rocks, bricks and bottles.
He said the group followed him as he drove away, but he and his family managed to escape and run into the church.

State? City? Other pertinent info? Don’t necessarily want to see the video.
Fullerton is in California.
Throttle pedal goes down.

I can just imagine what those are.
Yep. At that point my weapon is bigger, badder, and faster than theirs.
I’ll just say the comparison to them and someone like the Reverund Wright is stark. God was with these people and God bless them.
Thank you Cindy. Your link shed some light as to what I already suspected.
You’re welcome BBell.
It has to be a black/ Hispanic thing. Maybe the gang guys get special gang-points for attacking a pastor/ a Christian church.
Satan hates the cross.
Fullerton is near Disneyland. I wouldn’t want to live there.
Yep, Fullerton is near Santa Ana.
They state that the names were not divulged because of their ages. Wonder if they are illegals.
They are not calling it a hate crime. If they were Hispanic it certainly was a hate crime. If by chance the youths were black gang members that would explain why the pastor does not want to make that much out of this.
Why only 3 of the 15 arrested? Were they over 18? These were kids that came to the pantry with their parents. So much left out of this story!
