UXBRIDGE — Beth Stanley, the wife of Dennis H. Stanley, the pastor who was arrested after a standoff with police Monday, received a one-year extension on a restraining order today. She accuses her husband of abusing her and bringing home young women while she was made to sleep downstairs.
A judge initially granted a temporary restraining order Monday and extended it today after hearing from Mrs. Stanley.
Mrs. Stanley, who said she and her husband of 22 years were high school sweethearts, has filed for divorce. The couple has three children ages 7, 10 and 13.
Dennis and his brother David H. Stanley, both of Uxbridge, were in Uxbridge District Court this morning on charges stemming from a one-hour standoff with police Monday night regarding a violation of a restraining order.
The Stanley brothers, who own Driveways Corp. paving company, founded the Church of the End Times in 2006 and serve as pastors of the nondenominational Christian church. Their videos on YouTube show “Pastor David” conducting exorcisms.
