Betty Jones says she was praising God in her own home. Bristol police say she was violating the city's noise ordinance.
According to WCYB-TV, police cited Jones on their first visit to the 54-year-old's home on May 27.
She told them she spent five hours on Sundays praising and dancing to music by Johnny Cash, Randy Travis, Alan Jackson and The Judds.
"I don't do it to aggravate anybody. I do it to exercise my legs and praise God like he wants me to," Jones said.
After more neighborhood complaints, officers went back to Jones' home on May 28 and arrested her, charging her with disorderly conduct and violating the noise ordinance.
She spent the night in jail.
Jones told the TV station she was praising God in her own home, but conceded that on the second police visit she was "going off and cussing."
