A Phoenix, Ariz., man is in jail for hosting a Bible study group in his home.
Pastor Michael Salman starting serving 60 days on Monday after city officials said his weekly meetings were akin to church services, which violated several building codes.
"Bible studies are not allowed to be conducted in your residence or the barn on your property as these structures do not comply with the construction code for this use," a letter from the city says.
