Kentucky State Police were circling the parking lot of a church that’s packed for Easter service — defying state orders — and issuing warnings, if not citations.
I’m at Maryville Baptist Church, which continues to hold in-person services despite orders to cease . This morning, piles of nails have been scattered at every entrance. pic.twitter.com/WcxkqtVZQw — Sarah Ladd (@ladd_sarah) April 12, 2020
Maryville Baptist Church in Hillview, Kentucky drew what seemed to be nearly a full house Sunday morning. A reporter for Louisville’s Courier-Journal captured images in the parking lot … where you could hear the pastor leading the congregation in song.
The parking lot, cleaned of nails, is fast filling with cars now. At least 2 have covered their license plates to avoid quarantine orders. — Sarah Ladd (@ladd_sarah) April 12, 2020
The notifications also say the health department will contact the car owner, and his or her family members, and require them to quarantine for 14 days.
Unclear, if they’re issuing tickets, but the notice does point out the churchgoers are violating the state’s emergency order.

Transmission of this virus is going to impact their communities a heck of a lot more than a citation these people never intend to pay
