Leading Evangelist Preacher in Dallas Arrested For Allegedly Breaking Into Parishioner’s Home to Steal Furs and Designer Purses

Rev. Sandra McGriff, head of The Church of the Living God and one of the members of a powerful political family in Dallas, has been accused of breaking into the home of a parishioner on Christmas Eve to steal more than $10,000 worth of property, including fur coats, designer purses and electronics. She denies the allegations.

Police say that they have a witness who saw McGriff, 51, break into Serita Agnew’s home by climbing through a broken window. Police say that they found the stolen items in her car and that McGriff used an alias, attacked the officers, and even slipped out of handcuffs after her arrest for burglary and resisting arrest.

McGriff is described in an interview as having slurred speech that she said was due to pain killers. She insisted that she was actually investigating what appeared to be a burglary and that “I’m a giver, not a taker. I’m not a burlgarer (sic).”

She has previous arrests for prostitution and fraud.

  2. This was probaly just the minister’s way of emphasizing that warning about a camel going through the eye of a needle.

    No camel jokes, please.

    Making the best of a bad situation,but you have heard this here first.There has been buzz of Mayor Bloomberg running for President,I think that is really over with this storm situation,people in New York are steamed to say it mildly.

    He has become the “John Lindsay”of today:

    Don’t know what death toll etc has been but Mayor Bloomberg is on the “HOT SEAT”big time.

    Snowstorm

    Lindsay speaking at City HallSee also: February 1969 nor’easter
    On February 10, 1969, New York City was hit with 15 inches of snow, the worst in 8 years. On the first day, 14 people died and 68 were injured.[16] Within a day, the mayor was criticized for giving favored treatment to Manhattan at the expense of some areas of The Bronx, Staten Island and Queens.[17] Charges were made that a city worker elicited a bribe to clean streets in Queens[18] Over a week later, streets in eastern Queens remained unplowed, enraging residents.[19] Lindsay traveled to Queens, but his visit was not well received. His car could not make its way through Rego Park, and even in a four-wheel-drive truck, he had trouble getting around.[20] In Kew Gardens Hills, the mayor was booed; one woman screamed, “You should be ashamed of yourself.”[20] In Fresh Meadows, a woman told the mayor, “Get away, you bum.”[20] During the mayor’s walk through Fresh Meadows, a woman called him “a wonderful man,” prompting the mayor to respond, “And you’re a wonderful woman, not like those fat Jewish broads up there,” pointing to women in a nearby building who had criticized him.[20] The blizzard, dubbed the “Lindsay Snowstorm”,[21] prompted a political crisis that became “legendary in the annals of municipal politics”[20] as the scenes, captured on national television, conveyed a message that the mayor of New York was indifferent to the middle class.[1]”

    The words the people are yelling is where or the plows?

    Here in Jersey the mayors of some towns and cities are catching the same hell.And the Governor is at Disneyland go figure.

  6. I knew there was trouble when I read “Reverend Sandra…”.

    Yes, yes, innocent before guilty.

  7. I did make her do it. I love pastors the best, they are so easy to tempt. Jesus was another story, being a carpenter he was naturally a tough man.

    These modern day preachers sit on and talk out of their asses. No manly pursuits and idle hands make it easy. Being the Devil I can be sexist so dont give me any shizzle (Snoop Dog is a personal favorite).

  9. No May-um Ms. EM, I aint.

  13. FF Leo,

    I suggest you not “misunderestimate” Caribou Barbie either.
    F and P and D–them letter’s all look alike, doncha think?

  16. God wanted her to have those things so after she used them, she could give them away. The Lord works in mysterious ways but we should not question those ways or the actions of his faithful servants. All praise to the God of Bling!

  18. She’s from Texas. She claims she’s not a “burglarer.” Did she take enunciation lessons from George W. Bush–the man who people often “misunderestimate?”

  20. Beware of anyone wearing a big cross above their heart near their shoulder because the big chip thereon is much larger than the cross they bear.
