Controversial evangelist Tony Alamo is being transported to the Western District of Arkansas, said U.S. Marshal Richard O’Connell of Fort Smith. O’Connell said Alamo will be held in a facility in the Western District of Arkansas, an area that covers roughly 25,000 square miles. Alamo’s return likely signals the beginning of criminal proceedings in a federal courtroom in Texarkana, Ark. Alamo is accused of violating the Mann Act, a federal law that prohibits the transport of minors across state lines for sex. See Tuesday’s Texarkana Gazette for the full story.
