Conn. Pastor Accused of Not-So-Holy Crime

The man upstairs was apparently unwilling to send down a lightning bolt to help a pastor in Connecticut, who's accused of stealing more than $8,000 in electricity. William Marshall of Life Worship and Deliverance Center in Bridgeport also runs a tattoo parlor/barbershop that had its power cut in 2013 because of $4,000 in unpaid bills, reports the Connecticut Post.
