This is the fourth appellate opinion arising out of a dispute concerning whether the Reverend Kenneth R. Holmes has the right to hold church services on the property of Achor Center, Inc. 1 Achor swore out a warrant for the arrest of Holmes for criminal trespass in October 1997, and Holmes sought to enjoin the county’s solicitor general from prosecuting him. The trial court denied the injunction, and Holmes appeals. We affirm.

OCGA § 9-5-2 states that equity does not interfere with the administration of the criminal law. “It will neither aid criminal courts in the exercise of their jurisdiction, nor will it restrain or obstruct them.” 2 Although there is an exception when a pending prosecution prevents a person from pursuing his or her occupation, 3 the exception does not apply here because Rev. Holmes is not prohibited from serving as pastor of the Capitol View Community Church or working as a minister in other churches.

In addition, Holmes is not entitled to equitable relief because he has not exhausted his legal remedies. 4 If he is tried and convicted of the criminal trespass of Achor’s property, he may appeal his conviction. Because he has an adequate remedy at law, we affirm the trial court’s denial of his petition for an injunction.

Judgment affirmed.
