Satanic leader arrested after Black Mass, scuffle at Kansas Statehouse: 'A despicable act'

A leader of a Satanist group and three others were arrested Friday after a fight broke out inside the Kansas Statehouse after the leader allegedly tried to hold a Black Mass in the rotunda.

Michael Stewart, head of the Kansas City-area Satanic Grotto, was arrested after video showed him punching a counter-protester who tried to take his script.

Kansas Highway Patrol officers tackled and handcuffed him as he yelled, "Hail, Satan!" He was later released on $1,000 bond for disorderly conduct and unlawful assembly.
