A popular 'preacher man' in east Kingston, has been accused of recently stopping his delivery of God's message to fight a man who claimed he saw him visiting an exotic club

THE STAR learnt that both men got into a fist fight on Monday afternoon along Mountain View Avenue.

The preacher was reportedly on his regular routine of delivering the gospel to a group of persons, when a man intervened and made allegations that he saw him at a go-go club in St Thomas recently.

The man, THE STAR heard, went as far as to describe what the preacher was wearing at the club.

Following a heated exchange of words both men are said to have began fighting.

This reportedly drew the attention of a number of residents who watched in amazement as the man, who on so many occasions had urged them to turn to Christ, threw punches in front of their eyes.

"Him popular roun ya eno cause a regular wi see him pon bus a preach and ting. Everybody a laugh even though some people cyaa believe it," Desrine Thompson, 38, a resident of Stadium Gardens told THE STAR.

According to her the preacher neither denied nor admitted to the allegations and that he simply walked away after the fight.

Although no official report was made to the police, the Mountain View police are aware of the incident.

A corporal from the station told THE STAR that a police team was on patrol when they encountered the men arguing.

They said that after enquiring about what was happening, they became aware of the situation.
