Excerpt: Pastor Dave was giving Nathaniel Partee, 47, a ride to a scheduled appointment at a detox center, a place that would help Nathaniel stay off of his addiction. A short distance on route, he stopped at a Burger King to get something to eat for the both of them. He went through the drive-through. While waiting for their fish sandwiches in a parking space close to the building, Pastor Dave saw two teen boys skating in the parking lot. Thinking about the event that was just a little over a day away, Pastor Dave called out the window, "Hey kids, come here." He wanted to tell them about Jesus and invite them to the event.

The boys, one thirteen-and-a-half, the other turning fourteen that month, did not go over to the truck. They instead called the police.

A police report shows that officers were dispatched on a call for a white man and black man trying to coerce two juvenile males into a truck. Click Here
