A missionary carrying a cross on his shoulder was arrested for getting into a fistfight with a Montana motorist after walking 5,000 miles across America.

Jesse Michael Boyd, 46, was with his two children and two other missionaries, 27-year-old Eric Trent and 20-year-old Cater Phillips, when the group got into a scuffle with a man in Cameron, Montana, on November 12 that led the missionary to pull out a gun.

The group had been on a journey from North Carolina to walk and drive to the Pacific Ocean to pass out a gospel-related book through Full Proof Gospel Ministries. They had passed through 17 states before the altercation. 

Boyd's journey came to a sharp end when Bradley Terrell pulled up to the group and scolded them about where they parked their gray Subaru. Boyd apologized and insisted they were leaving when Terrell then got out of the car.

'At that point he just lit into rage, cursing - my son was standing right there. I told them there wasn't any need to act like that,' Boyd told WSOC-TV.

Terrell then got out of his car and Boyd pulled out his gun. Once Terrell appeared to have calmed down, Boyd put away his gun and Terrell forced him to the ground.
