Bishop Terry Hornbuckle, an Arlington minister accused of sexually assaulting congregants, was rearrested Thursday at his Grapevine home after authorities said he violated the conditions of his bail for a third time.
He was being held late Thursday without bail in the Tarrant County Jail, according to a jail worker.
County officials would not say how Hornbuckle, founder and head of Agape Christian Fellowship in southeast Arlington, violated the terms of his bail, citing a gag order on all aspects of the case.
Hornbuckle, 43, faces six counts of sexual assault, along with charges of drug possession, retaliation and tampering with a witness. Five women have accused him.
