He posted $15,000 bail at the Martin County Jail.<\/p>\n<p>Online records showed Adams has been the rector of Calvary Episcopal Church in Fletcher, just south of Asheville, since September.<\/p>\n<p>Adams was driving a red Chevy Corvette, according to a Florida Highway Patrol report. The priest tried to brake-check a Chevy Silverado pickup truck that was closely following his car. But when the driver of the pickup tried to go around Adams, he pointed a handgun at the two people in the truck, the highway patrol reported.<\/p>\n<p>Florida troopers pulled Adams over shortly after the people in the truck called police.<\/p>\n<p>Adams told investigators that the truck pulled alongside his car, someone in the truck rolled down a window, started screaming and threw a drink at his car. Adams told officials he had a gun, but said it wasn\u2019t loaded and was kept under his passenger seat, according to the highway patrol.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newsobserver.com\/news\/local\/crime\/article160382344.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">https:\/\/www.newsobserver.com\/news\/local\/crime\/article160382344.html<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RAEL\u2019S COMMENT: The morning laugh: a priest driving a Corvette with a gun in hand\u2026 &nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":71,"featured_media":284673,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-264436","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/noproxy.rael.org\/sl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/264436","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/noproxy.rael.org\/sl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/noproxy.rael.org\/sl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/noproxy.rael.org\/sl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/71"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/noproxy.rael.org\/sl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=264436"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/noproxy.rael.org\/sl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/264436\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/noproxy.rael.org\/sl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/284673"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/noproxy.rael.org\/sl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=264436"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/noproxy.rael.org\/sl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=264436"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/noproxy.rael.org\/sl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=264436"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
