Quote:A series of psychiatric facilities run by the Church of Scientology in Cannon County, Tenn. has been closed after police found that patients there were being held against their will.

Via Tony Ortega, the Cannon Courier reports that several facilities in the county were shut down after police received a 911 call from someone within one of the facilities, whom they found locked inside a cabin with no way to get out.

The man then told officers that he had been held at the facility for the past nine months, during which he had been treated with unknown drugs.

The operator of the facilities, a man named Marc Vallieres, was arrested and charged with two felony counts of facilitation of kidnapping, while two other men who worked at the facility pled guilty to misdemeanors.

The Cannon County Sheriff’s Department subsequently announced that all the facilities had been closed and were no longer operating in the county.

I for one am shocked - shocked! - that fine, upstanding Scientologists could possibly commit such crimes.

Oh wait. No I'm not.

I want my chance to fling shit at them as they are stripped naked and forced to walk to the Red Keep amid chants of "shame!".

Be sure to catch where they state they don't confine and don't use drugs.

Now let's wait and see if they can do a raid on The Hole next. Granted, it will likely be a different authority and require trespassing on "hallowed ground", but this is certainly a step in the right direction.
