Anquin St. Junious wanted sympathy from a judge Thursday. Instead, he left the courtroom humiliated.

He’s the 32-year-old La Crosse man accused of stabbing a downtown tavern bartender Dec. 21 before he suffered a beating that also sent him to the hospital.

St. Junious sat motionless in a wheelchair Thursday as his attorney tried to convince a judge he needed to be released from jail because of a dire medical condition.

Since the assault, St. Junious can’t move his arms, can’t walk for more than 15 seconds and has a hole in his throat that is susceptible to infection if he remains in custody, his attorney said. He even requires a special lightweight spoon to feed himself.

The problem with that story? Jail staff has St. Junious on surveillance video doing pushups in his cell.

Circuit Judge Scott Horne determined St. Junious had exaggerated if not “willfully falsified” his condition.

The judge doubled St. Junious’ bond to $50,000 cash.

And his luck won’t improve today. Prosecutors are expected to file multiple charges against St. Junious in connection with the stabbing.

A Fayetteville church pastor accused of running off to Pennsylvania with a female church member and $30,000 of the church’s money has been arrested and returned to the Fayette County Jail — minus the money.

Kenneth Robinson, 44, senior pastor of the Flint Ridge Baptist Church on Old Road off Ga. Highway 85 North, has been charged with two counts of forgery in the first degree and one count of theft by taking, according to Investigator Brent Rowan of the Fayette County Sheriff’s Department.

Also arrested and charged with two counts of being party to the crime of theft by taking was Alexis Dodson, 35, of Fayetteville, Rowan said. Dodson was a member of the church Robinson pastored, Rowan said.

“This case involves Robinson stealing approximately $30,000 from a north Fayette church where he was employed as the senior pastor,” Rowan said.

“Robinson fraudulently put the stolen money on two money orders made out to Dodson. After stealing the money from the north Fayette church, both Robinson and Dodson fled to Pennsylvania where they were then arrested by the United States Marshall’s Service” on New Year’s Day, Rowan said.

The pair were not cooperating with investigators, Rowan said, and none of the church’s money has been recovered.
