Nueces County Sheriff's Department deputies arrested Flowers Friday at the Faith Outreach Center in San Antonio, The San Antonio Express-News reported. A trainer at the camp, Stephanie Bassitt, was arrested at her home.
Flowers, who is also a Christian pastor, is the commandant of the Love Demonstrated Ministries boot camp in Banquete, outside Corpus Christi.
