Rushville, In. — A Rushville pastor accused of child molesting and his wife have been arrested for trespassing and resisting law enforcement.
A report from the Rushville Police Department says on Monday Garry Evans, 72, and his wife Gay, 70, went to a home in the 400 block of North Main Street and demanded to speak with a family member. The homeowner told police she retrieved a firearm from the home after telling the couple to leave several times. During a struggle for the weapon in the doorway between Garry Evans and the homeowner, she was able to secure the weapon and lock the door, keeping the couple on the porch.
When the homeowner returned to the door she observed Garry Evans looking in a vehicle on the property. The homeowner told police she was able to chase the couple from the property with a baseball bat.
On Tuesday police arrested Garry and Gay Evans for criminal trespass. Gay was also charged with resisting law enforcement after becoming verbally abusive to police during the arrest.
Garry Evans was the pastor of the Rushville Baptist Temple in October of 2017 when he was arrested after young girls in the congregation came forward with reports of being touched inappropriately after being lured to his office with candy.
