Elton John Incident
Horsley was arrested in Carrollton, Georgia on March 12, 2010 by police on charges of terroristic threats, making criminal defamation and using the Internet to disseminate threats in relation to a February 28, 2010 video which he had posted on his YouTube account; the video showed him holding a sign saying "Elton John must die" and him saying that "What Elton John has done is desecrated the image of the Lord Jesus Christ, blasphemed the Lord Jesus Christ," in relation to John's public comment that Jesus was a "compassionate, super-intelligent gay man who understood human problems." The video showed Horsley holding the sign in front of what he believed to be John's condo in Carrollton, although John's publicist refused to confirm the exact location of his house in the Atlanta metropolitan area.
