Mobile County Sheriff's Officials said they have issued an arrest warrant for a man who ran for the U.S. Senate last year.
They said Simone Moore, also known as Simone De, tased the pastor of a Mobile County church Sunday.
Investigators said that triggered an all out brawl, and a woman was stabbed in the fight.
Mobile Sheriff's Officials said it all took place Sunday at the New Welcome Baptist Church on Boe Road in Irvington.
They said pastor Daryl Riley told his music minister, identified as Simone Moore, that he was no longer needed, and gave him his final paycheck.
Deputies said Moore disagreed with the amount of the check, got into an argument, and tased Pastor Riley.
Lori Myles with the Mobile County Sheriff's Office, said, "When that happened, several other people in defense of the pastor got involved, and it just escalated from that point on."
Sheriffs officials said that led to a fight involving Moore's mother, Agolia, who was stabbed with a pocket knife by one of the deacons, Harvey Hunt.
Arrest warrants were issued for Moore and Hunt.
Myles said, "I'm sure, now, there are all hopefully looking back on it, saying, 'Hmm. we could have done something a little different there.' "
Monday afternoon, News Five went to an address listed as the home of Agolia Moore in Prichard.
No one answered the door.
Deputies said Moore needed 19 stitches in her arm.
We tried to talk to Pastor Riley as well, but his residence is listed as on both Emogene and Orleans Streets with no addresses.
Deputies said Riley has been released from the hospital, too.
No one answered the door at the church Monday, either.
But, Lashea Gray lives next door.
Gray said, "There were just some little girls running by, screaming."
Gray said she was surprised to see such commotion at a church.
She said, "I just peeped out the window, and I saw police and ambulances. I didn't go out to check to see what was going on.. I didn't know what to think, at a church like that, to see all that."
