He was pulled over by a police officer in Indio, California, for driving on the wrong side of the road. With him in the vehicle was a woman named Rosemary Garcia. According to Garcia, Swaggart had stopped to propose sex to her on the side of the road. She later told reporters: "He asked me for sex. I'm a prostitute." This time, rather than confessing of his sins to his congregation, Swaggart told those at Family Worship Center, "The Lord told me it's flat none of your business." Swaggart's son Donnie then announced to the audience that his father would be temporarily stepping down as head of Jimmy Swaggart Ministries for "a time of healing and counseling". At this point, Swaggart should have resigned and disassociated himself from his church. While he can (and hopefully did) receive forgiveness from God, IMO, being caught for a second time in an adulterous situation should have been the death knell for his days as a minister. Farris said the deal will be closed by late February, but would not make public the selling price or other details. However, Dwayne Duhon of Aptaker Agency Inc., who represented the purchaser, FDF Property Management of Lafayette, said Friday the company plans to subdivide and build exclusive homes on the property.
