Yes, truth is stranger than fiction.

I’ve heard it all now. According to an article on the Dallas Morning News’ website, a local pastor was arrested on Christmas Eve for burglarizing a parishoner’s home. Pastor Sandy McGriff, 52, insists she had “no criminal intent” when police caught her carrying an armload of fur coats out the back door of Serita Agnew’s home in the Oak Cliff neighborhood; Agnew’s other property (purses, jewelry and a laptop) were already in the back seat of McGriff’s Jaguar, which was parked in the driveway. She said she had been driving by Agnew’s home, saw a broken kitchen window and decided to crawl in to make sure nothing had been stolen. A neighbor called police, and when they arrived McGriff told them she was removing Agnew’s valuables in case a few burglars showed up.

Shocked that police arrested her, McGriff also was charged with resisting arrest after she slipped out of her handcuffs twice and tried to kick and scratch officers en route to the jail. McGriff is pastor of the Church of the Living God on Lancaster Road in Dallas.

For your possible amusement, here’s a video of Pastor Einstein doing her best to weasle out of this. You’ll note that she’s sitting on a heap of her own fur coats in an effort to convince everybody that she has to be innocent.



In other news, I just found out that Sam is working late tonight so I think I’ll make popcorn and watch one of those movies I set aside for nights when I’m home alone, which usually includes anything with Doris Day, Debbie Reynolds or Hayley Mills. Tonight’s choice is Pollyanna.
