US Pastor Out of Russian Jail

A South Carolina pastor will soon leave Russia after spending five months in prison for bringing a $25 box of hunting rounds into Russia. Phillip Miles of Christ Community Church in Conway was taking the .300-caliber cartridges to a fellow pastor who had recently bought a new rifle. Miles says he didn't know bringing ammunition into Russia was illegal and that he had asked US airline officials before boarding his plane and was assured there would not be a problem. He’s traveled often to Russia, working for a charity started by his father called Evangel Fellowship International.
