A Little Rock woman upset over God’s Not Dead being filmed in Arkansas' capital city “chest bumped” a sheriff’s deputy in an attempt to grab a member of the production crew, authorities say.
Kathleen Worthen, 69, was arrested around 8:20 a.m. Thursday near the intersection of Spring and 17th streets, according to a report. She faces charges of disorderly conduct and second-degree battery on an officer.
Authorities say Worthen confronted a film crew member as the production team was cleaning up.
Deputies then tried to intervene, at which point Worthen "chest bumped" one as she tried to reach for a crew member.
“Get the f*** out of my way,” Worthen reportedly yelled before her arrest, the report states.
Worthen had harassed the crew earlier in the day and was warned multiple times by the Little Rock Police Department that her cursing was not acceptable, the sheriff's office said.
In its report, the sheriff's office wrote that the film's production had been authorized by the city of Little Rock.
A city spokesman wrote in an email that the crew filming the third installment of the God’s Not Dead series is the only one that has gotten a permit and that the city was not aware of any other movies.
Worthen's name did not appear in an inmate roster for the Pulaski County jail as of Friday afternoon. She is set to appear in court Dec. 5.
