Megachurch leader and uber rich (off the collection plate we allege) TV ministry personality, Creflo Dollar Jr., was arrested early this morning for allegedly choking his daughter and hitting her with a shoe. Get the deets inside......
Earlier today, Creflo Dollar's 15-year-old daughter found out the hard way that it's not a good idea to upset the saints! Police were called to the Atlanta-area home of megachurch pastor Creflo Dollar & wife Taffy Dollar. in the wee hours of morning after his daughter claimed Creflo LAID HANDS on her. And he wasn't doing a blessing.
According to the police report from the Fayette County Sheriff's Office, Creflo's daughter said she and her father began arguing over whether she could attend a party. Apparently the ish got out of control and according to the report, Pastor Dollar choked her, then threw her to the ground, punched her and hit her with his shoe! And if that just sounds unbelievable, Fayette County Sheriff's Office spokesman Lt. Brent Rowan says Creflo's other 19-year-old daughter backed up her version of the events! The victim suffered "superficial injuries" and a scratch to her neck.
The pastor was booked into the county jail at 2 a.m. A judge set his bond at $5,000 during a hearing this morning. And as he left the jail earlier today, Creflo told reporters, “Discipline my kid. Love ‘em.” He added that he had no comment for his congregation.
I'm sure there won't be an empty seat at Creflo's World Changers Church in College Park this Sunday. It will be interesting to see pastor preach his way out of this one to his 30,000 members. No sparing the rod and spoiling the child here....
