Jesus arrested for refusing to leave Apple Store

The man known as Philly Jesus was arrested in Philadelphia on Monday night. The incident took place at around 6:15pm at an Apple Store where he had been checking his emails.



Police say they received a call from the store manager about a man who would not leave the store when asked. Officers arrived to find Philly Jesus, a former drug addict whose real name is Michael Grant, and who is known to local residents for dressing like Jesus and quoting Bible verses.



Police asked him to leave the store. They say Grant refused to leave and created a disturbance. He was taken into custody and charged with Defiant Trespassing and Disorderly Conduct. This is not the first time he has been arrested.



Back in 2014, he was arrested at Dilworth Plaza. He was arrested then for Disorderly Conduct and Failure to Disperse. At the time, Grant said he was misunderstood. He said he doesn't ask for money, but he does accept tips.

Should have cut Him some slack, it always takes Him a bit longer to shut down. Jesus saves.
