According to Pastor Leon McCray, he saw two people trying to dispose off a refrigerator on his property.
County Sheriff Timothy Carter revealed last Sunday that the charge against Pastor McCray has been dropped and the five assailants have been detained and charged.
The Sheriff’s office revealed that the white family Donny Salyers, 43, Dennis Salyers, 26, Farrah Salyers, 42, Christopher Sharp, 57, and Amanda Salyers, 26, are being held without bond and are facing charges for hate crimes and other degrees of assault.
However, the officers who were involved in this wrongful arrest of Pastor McCray have been placed on administrative leave without pay.
It was through social media that Shenandoah County was called out on their unlawful arrest of Pastor McCray which expedited his charges being dropped.
