LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) — Seth Calagna recalled lying on the floor of a Fort Smith factory, feeling every strike of the board against his backside as blood oozed on the winter-cooled concrete.
Calagna told detectives months later that John Erwin Kolbeck, an alleged enforcer for jailed evangelist Tony Alamo, paused after 20 strikes to order another ministry member to pull off the 17-year-old’s pants and thermals. Kolbeck slammed the wooden board against the teen’s underwear and bare skin until the board finally broke, according to a police report.
