Texas Pastor Pulls a Grinch (Robbery) on Parishioner's Home (512 hits)
Here's a video interview with McGriff inside her home. At 1:40, she seems to misremember what happened. Oops!
On Christmas Eve, a Dallas pastor, Sandy McGriff, was arrested for breaking into her friend's home and allegedly stealing fur coats, a laptop, and designer purses. McGriff says she thwarted two burglars, but an eyewitness has a different story.
McGriff, who invited reporters to her home to tell her side of the story, says "something just told me to go past her house," referring to her friend, and parishioner of The Church of the Living God, Serita Agnew. McGriff says she saw two men leaving the home, but instead of calling 911, she decided to "protect" Agnew's valuables, by climbing through a window and stashing them in her car. According to the Dallas Morning News:
She grabbed a laptop from the bedroom and three designer purses and put them in the Jaguar's back seat. Police arrived about 5:30 p.m. to see her carrying two fur coats out the back door, according to the arrest warrant affidavit. What a good friend! Oh, but Agnew's neighbor just happened to be watching, and offered a slightly different story:
Agnew's neighbor David Nanez had a different version of events. He said Monday that he had just come home from work when he saw a woman at Agnew's house. They waved at each other. Nanez said he kept watching as the woman hit the window with something. He said she tried to use an 8-foot wooden ladder to get in the window, but she slipped. So she got a 5-gallon bucket from the backyard to boost herself through the window, he said.
Police arrived as McGriff was making a second trip from her friend's home. McGriff was arrested for burglary and resisting arrest under a different name, Kathy Robinson, which she says that was an alias she used as a "troubled youth.

Man, this is crazy and sitting behind her is all the stuff she took. She wasn't just content with 1 load, I think she was on her 2 run. That some crazy and an even crazier explanation. You want to believe her because of who she is, but greed has no religion or color. If you were afraid they would return, why would you then enter the home. All this could have been avoided with a simple call to 911.

@ Bro Clark, Lawdhamercy is right!!
@ Sister Anita, It wasn't enough for the pastor that the parishioner was giving financially to her ministry, but the greedy pastor had to covet what didn't belong to her, but what belonged to her neighbor. I wonder if she (pastor) would have also taken the woman's husband, too?

@ Sister Helen, I know right! What did the men take?
@ Saint, Amen to that--- the Most High better be the parishioners #1 ... off the topic Did you hear that Bishop Long settled out of court? I wonder whether the Most His is who they had their faith in? Can you also send a survey to New Birth, too while you're at it!

@ Sister Shequita, I know, right. The pastor should just come clean since she's been caught red handed!
