Quran Burning Pastor Terry Jones Arrested in Polk County

Pastor Terry Jones, who has made national headlines for his Quran burning events, was arrested on Wednesday night before he could burn 2,998 Qurans -- one for each victim of the 9/11 terrorist attacks -- in Polk County. Jones had applied to hold a Quran burning event in a park but was denied by the Polk County Board of Commissioners on Tuesday.

Jones was arrested after his truck was pulled over with Qurans already covered in kerosene and bottles of additional kerosene. He faces charges for unlawfully transporting fuel and openly carrying a gun.
