Report: New Jersey priest arrested for allegedly pointing gun at boy for being Cowboys fan

[RS12]

A New Jersey priest was arrested Friday on charges he pointed a gun at an 8-year-old child inside his church because he was a Dallas Cowboys fan,NBC 4 New York reported.

The 54-year-old priest at St. Margaret of Cortona Roman Catholic Church in Little Ferry was arrested on charges of endangering the welfare of a child and aggravated assault, the Bergen County Prosecutor's Office said.

The incident allegedly happened before the New York Giants-Cowboys game on Sunday, Sept. 13.

The priest allegedly had the boy stand against the wall, then retrieved a musket and pointed it at him, prosecutors said, citing several witnesses because the boy was going to root for the Cowboys.

"As he raised his weapon and pointed it at the boy, he said, 'I'm going to shoot you,'" Bergen County Prosecutor John Molinelli told NBC 4 New York Friday.

I'm surprised the priests in Philly haven't tried this yet.

There's a reason why eagle fans were voted the most hated in the NFL.

They have, they just went the extra step. No witnesses.

Classy priest. He needs to rethink his occupation. This is not what I expect from a religious leader but then again he's from jersey.

Why would a Cowboys hater become a priest? Everyone knows they're His favorite team.
