The Fresno County man who campaigned for governor this year has been arrested in connection with the shooting of his neighbor and the slaying of a horse Thursday afternoon.This is the same man who, when confronted about his arrest concerning picking up an under-aged prostitute, stated, "'I found the Lord when I got arrested for picking up the prostitutes,,,I was like most people, ignorant in the darkness, in the very dark. I had no peace, had no love, had no joy. And now I do. Praise God for that…. I've grown considerably since I met Christ.'"
Tye "Glenn" Champ, 48, was taken into custody around midday Friday near Goshen without incident. A Tulare County sheriff's deputy caught up to him on a traffic stop.
Champ previously served a prison term for manslaughter, has several convictions for weapons offenses and is also a registered sex offender.

Champ campaigned in this year's California primary on a platform that he would clean up state government. He had a brief, scheduled appearance on the dais during the California Republican Party convention in March and attracted 2% of the total vote in June.
Champ is a "felon with an extensive criminal history that dates back to 1985," Mims said.
So would the be the Republican Jesus?
