Man admits to assaulting pastor for texting his wife

A Jones County man admits to assaulting the pastor of an Ellisville Baptist Church.

Michael Clark is accusing pastor Steve Nixon of sending inappropriate text messages to his wife and other parishoners wives.

Wednesday, before bible study, Clark whipped the pastor with an air hose.  He says he wanted to stop any communications before it got out of hand.

Pastor Nixon suffered several bruises from the attack.  Clark turned himself in to authorities.

Pastor Nixon admits to text messaging Clark's wife but adds, "As pastor of Calvary Baptist Church, there have been false accusations against me.  I will continue to give God the glory. Calvary is where Christ makes the difference."
