Church Condemned After Woman Claims She Was Held ‘Captive’ Inside
A St. Louis church has been condemned by city authorities after an injured, bound woman told cops over the weekend she’d been held captive there.
The entrance to the Mount of Olives Ministry now features a sign warning visitors to “keep away” from the “unsafe” premises, according to a photo published by the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. A city building inspector reportedly signed off on condemning the building on Monday.
The official reason given for the church’s closure is that it “is used or intended to be used for purposes which are illegal and may endanger the health and safety of persons.” No further details have been provided on what led authorities to that conclusion.
