An anti-abortion activist and gubernatorial candidate from Carrollton was arrested by Atlanta police on Wednesday for allegedly making threats against Elton John.
Neal Horsley was taken into custody in Carrollton by members of the Atlanta police fugitive squad and U.S. Marshal’s office, according to Carrollton police.
Horsley was booked into the Fulton County Jail, charged with terroristic threats, criminal defamation and using the Internet to disseminate threats. During a hearing Thursday morning at the jail, Magistrate Judge James Altman set bond for Horsley at $40,000 on all three charges. Altman said as a condition of his bail, Horsley must remain at the home of his son, Nathanael Horsley of Gainesville. The younger Horsley is acting as his father’s attorney.
Elton John, a part-time Atlantan, raised the ire of Horsley last month when he told an interviewer that he believed that Jesus was a homosexual.
