A woman has fallen on the wrong side of the law in North Dakota – for praying too loudly on sidewalks.
Martha Nagbe, from Lisbon, and was fined $150 after two court appearances for causing ‘unnecessary noise’.
However, Mrs Nagbe, the wife of the pastor, said she will carry on as before, because she can’t help it.
She told Valley News Live: ‘I can't stop. I'm trusting God.’
Daily Mail reports that Mrs Nagbe moved to Lisbon from Liberiafor a better life and now feels disillusioned.
She added: ‘In the United States it's one nation under God.’
The police remain adamant that she was causing a nuisance, with Police Chief Jeanette Persons stating that the problem wasn’t the praying, but the volume of her voice.
She said: ‘I mean, we all need prayers and great she's out there praying for all of us, but it's just the volume of her voice.’
Chief Persons added that Mrs Nagbe would linger outside people’s homes shouting.
Pastor Juwle Nagbe said he was upset that his wife was being made to look like a bad person and urged officials to treat her with respect.
