MULBERRY — The Rev. Terry Jones was arrested in Polk County this afternoon on his way to burn 2,998 Qurans on the anniversary of the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks.

Jones appeared to have planned to carry through with the controversial Quran-burning. When he and another pastor were pulled over by Polk County sheriff’s deputies near the small town of Mulberry, their pickup bed was full of kerosene-soaked Qurans - and they were towing a large, barbeque-style grill behind the truck.

The arrest happened shortly before 5 p.m., when Jones was scheduled to burn the Quarans - one for every victim of the terrorist attacks - at a public park just outside Mulberry. Jones and Sapp were being taken to the Polk County Jail early this evening, where it appears they will face a charge of improper transportation of hazardous materials.
