Robert Watson posts bail, with a little help with some noteworthy friends:

The largest part of the $2.5 million came from the home of Stuart and Nancy Epperson, valued for tax purposes at $782,200.

The Eppersons agreed to use $625,000 of the equity in their home for Watson’s bond.

Stuart Epperson is a member of Watson’s church, Calvary Baptist in Winston-Salem, and the chairman of the board of Salem Communications, a company that owns or operates 104 Christian radio stations.

For those of you not up on corporate channels, Salem Communications owns this very popular site.
