Maryville Baptist Church in Kentucky was targeted by both police and protesters on Sunday as they defiantly held Easter service.
Prior to the start of services, Rev. Jack Roberts found piles of nails scattered at the entrances to the parking lot.
A few guys have finished cleaning all the nails up with about an hour to go until Sunday School.

“The nails appeared to have been dumped at the entrances to block cars from entering the church that is in the Bullitt County community of Hillview, just south of the Jefferson County line,” the Courier Journal reports.
Kentucky State Police also made an appearance at the church, recording the license plates and placing notices on the roughly 50 cars in the parking lot. The notices said that those in the car and everyone in their household must now self quarantine for fourteen days.
