A federal judge yesterday forbade a Fayette County church that was raided earlier this month during a three-day music festival from holding any more such events.

The temporary injunction was issued by Chief U.S. District Judge Donetta W. Ambrose following a four-hour hearing.

While her order will prohibit all events that include amplified music, worship on the Bullskin property of the Church of Universal Love and Music will still be allowed.

The hearing was held after lawyers for Fayette County filed a motion claiming that the church had violated a settlement agreement signed in March, in which owner Willie Pritts agreed that no illegal drug use would be permitted on his property.

On Aug. 1, agents with the Fayette County Drug Task Force raided the property and recovered 76 bags of marijuana, 22 bags of hallucinogenic mushrooms, LSD, hashish and nitrous oxide.

Twenty-two people were arrested, and there are eight additional cases expected to be filed.

Several witnesses from the church and its security company testified that they were either unaware of drug use on the property, or if they saw it, the users were expelled from the property.

"I have not witnessed illegal activity," Mr. Pritts said.

If he became aware of it, the parties were asked to leave, he continued.

Mr. Pritts also said he was unaware that vendors he contracted for shows were selling glass pipes to smoke marijuana.

More than 1,000 such pipes were seized during the raid.

Another man, whose security company contracts its services to the church, said he, too, was unaware of any problems.

"I did not see any use of marijuana or drug paraphernalia," said James Stephens, who owns Sonrise Security. "I have never witnessed any illegal drug activity either in the open or covert."

Later, Mr. Stephens, who said he spent 16 years as a Pennsylvania state trooper, testified he would be unable to recognize a marijuana pipe.

"I don't know what half of this stuff is that they're talking about," he said.

Witnesses for the church said that there are several signs posted all over the property that warn attendees that drug use is not permitted.

Throughout the hearing, Mr. Pritts' attorney, Gregory Koerner, tried to argue to Judge Ambrose that there were ulterior motives for the drug raid. Though two people on the task force discounted his notion, Mr. Koerner said that the raid was conducted at the behest of the county.

Mr. Pritts filed a lawsuit in 2006, claiming that the county was violating the church's right to freedom of religion by not giving it a special use exception permit. The county argued that what Mr. Pritts was operating was not a church and did not deserve such a permit.

The case settled on the eve of trial, with the county agreeing to allow the church to host a dozen events per year, provided no illegal drug use occurred on the property. In addition, the county paid Mr. Pritts $75,000.

Yesterday, Mr. Pritts testified that he would lose $48,000 in deposits for concerts for four more events scheduled for the rest of this summer if the judge ruled against him.
