Speeding may not be in the Bible, but a Church of Christ minister says traffic laws are God's laws and must be enforced. Police have received complaints about Alfred Pehl jumping in front of fast cars in his neighborhood, sticking brooms in their way and backing his own car in front of other drivers.
He denies the allegations but was ticketed this week for disorderly conduct.
"We appreciate citizens getting involved in stuff, but they can't take it to the extreme," said Cedar City police Sgt. Jerry Womack.
Pehl said people who complain about him and deny they are speeders are sinners.
"If we don't obey the law of the land, then God will hold us accountable. The laws here in this land are His laws, not man's laws," the minister said.
