UXBRIDGE — The co-founder and pastor of the unconventional Church of the End Times will be returning to court soon on new charges.

David H. Stanley, 41, 51 Murphy’s Way, was issued a summons from Uxbridge District Court Friday for reckless operation of a motor vehicle, stemming from charges that he nearly struck an 87-year-old gas station employee with his Driveways Corp. pickup truck. Mr. Stanley is scheduled to be arraigned May 17.

According to the complaint filed by Sutton Police Patrolman Bryan T. Lefebvre, Mr. Stanley allegedly became impatient while waiting to fill his vehicle with gas at the XtraMart on Route 146 north in Sutton, around 8:30 a.m. April 26. A gas station employee, Elliott Hairyes, was assisting another customer at the pump when Mr. Stanley allegedly drove toward him, causing Mr. Hairyes to dash out of the way to avoid being hit.

The report continued that after nearly striking Mr. Hairyes, Mr. Stanley got out of his truck and told Mr. Hairyes that he should have moved out of the way. Mr. Hairyes responded that had he not moved out of the way, he would have been struck by the truck.
