Fidel Valle Arrested After Allegedly Forcing Woman to Worship Satan at Knifepoint in Florida

A Florida man has been arrested after he allegedly tried to force a woman at knife-point to worship Satan, officials said.

Fidel Valle, 33, is accused of becoming angry with the victim, demanding she give praise to the devil as they and another person rode in a truck together June 19, a probable cause affidavit obtained by the Miami Herald said.

The woman told police she refused, and Valle held a knife against her side as he drove her and another person to a "remote boat ramp," the affidavit reportedly said.

Valle allegedly forced the other person to get out of the truck while he prayed to Satan, and yelled at the woman to do the same, authorities said.

Valle is accused of holding the knife against the woman the entire time. 

He eventually allowed the other person back into the truck and the three of them drove to another location, where police said Valle got out and walked away.

Valle was later arrested and charged with aggravated assault and aggravated battery with a deadly weapon.

He remained in custody at Pasco County Jail Thursday, online records show.
