More than One Million Stolen from Church

Columbus, Ohio prosecutors says the former pastor of World of Pentecost Church stole more than one million dollars from the congregation. A jury indicted David Thompson on charges of money laundering, theft and filing false tax returns. They say he spent the money on a home, expensive vehicles and other personal items. He even sold church property to the city and kept the $900,000 payment. Thompson has not entered a plea yet but faces up to 87 years in prison.
