Tony Alamo’s enforcer to be featured on America’s Most Wanted

Enforcer for jailed evangelist on the run

In early 2008, a 14-year-old follower of Tony Alamo‘s stated that if he were Harry Potter, he would cast a spell on Alamo. When word got back to Alamo about what was said, he sent John Erwin Kolbeck, also known as The Enforcer, to teach the child a lesson.

Kolbeck took his two sons to a factory in Fort Smith where the child worked scratching expiration dates off of canned foods. Then he severely beat the child with a board nearly 40 times, until the board broke.
