A group of parishioners banded together and escorted Von Goetz from the building where he began "attempting to strike them with his whiskey bottle".


The group was able to detain Von Goetz until police arrived and he was taken into custody. 


Thomas Von Goetz is being charged with religious crime against a group, obstructing a religious service, threat of mass violence, disorderly conduct, defacing religious property and second degree assault.
