Arizona Pastor Arrested, Jailed for Holding Bible Study in Home

Bible study leader Michael Salman is sitting in jail today after his home was raided earlier this week by more than a dozen Phoenix, Ariz. police officers and city officials. His offense? The city says people aren't allowed to hold private Bible studies on their own property. 

Salman was sentenced to 60 days in jail, three years probation and received a $12,180 fine for "the crime." His wife Suzanne spoke
with Fox and Friends this morning to express her shock and disbelief at the entire situation. According to Suzanne, the city told her that her husband was essentially arrested because the Bible study was at a private house .. and that essentially, it's a church. Since they weren't zoned for church, they were told they were breaking the rules.
