Fort Lauderdale police charged three men --
including two pastors and a 90-year-old man -- for feeding the homeless
in public on Sunday, the first such cases made by the city after the a
new ordinance effectively banning public food sharings took effect
Friday.
The first to be charged was homeless
advocate Arnold Abbott, 90, who has been feeding the homeless in Fort
Lauderdale for more than 20 years. Also cited were two Christian
ministers -- Dwayne Black, pastor of The Sanctuary Church in Fort
Lauderdale, and Mark Sims of St. Mary Magdalene Episcopal Church in
Coral Springs.
All three men face up to 60 days in jail and a $500 fine.
