*Steven Carter, a 26-year-old pastor, spent the night in an open jail cell with several hundred other men, fearing that he could face several years in prison on a terrorism charge, his employer told the AJC Wednesday.

Carter is a preacher at The Church at Southside in Athens, Georgia. The pastor there, Jeff Williams, said Carter’s 22-year-old wife, Erin, called him in a panic Tuesday night. She told him that her husband was detained after customs officials found a .22-caliber bullet in his bag.

“It was stuck in the seams of the bag,” Williams said. “They don’t know how it got there. Steve doesn’t own a gun.”
