It’s a sin to bear false witness, but that didn’t stop a Minnesota pastor from allegedly impersonating a police officer and pepper spraying a teenager. Keith Haskell, a pastor at Bridges of Hope Community Church in Owatonna, faces numerous criminal charges for an alleged incident involving two teenagers, according to Minneapolis TV station WCCO. Haskell later told officers he witnessed the theft and followed the teens outside to write down their license plate number. Witnesses told officers they heard Haskell identify himself as a police officer while trying to pull the teens out of their SUV. Rodriguez told WCCO TV that he stayed in his seat because he believed Haskell’s claim of being a cop.
