East Oak Cliff pastor Sandy McGill denies burglarizing congregant's house

The Dallas pastor facing felony charges of burglarizing a church member's home on Christmas Eve said Monday she had no criminal intent.

Sandy McGriff, 52, said she was trying to protect valuables at the home of her longtime friend Serita Agnew and made a horrible mistake.

Police accuse McGriff of stealing more than $10,000 worth of fur coats, designer purses and electronics from a home in the 2200 block of Village Way near Kiest Boulevard and Lancaster Road. She was also charged with resisting arrest.

McGriff spent most of Christmas Day in jail and was released on $26,000 bail in time for Sunday morning services at The Church of the Living God. The sanctuary is in the back of her husband's furniture store on Lancaster Road in east Oak Cliff.

McGriff invited reporters to her Grand Prairie home Monday to tell her side of the story. .......

The easiest way to wealth is to open a black church with an attached funeral home. Burglary is way too much work.

Trollin’ for cobbler in my automobile...
My black Jag’s a mighty fine set of wheels.

Tryin’ to get the window glass loose
A 5-gallon bucket to gimme a boost

Can you imagine the way I felt
Them handcuffs belonged on a woman more svelte.

The whole article is so juicy, I had to read it twice! The nut of the deal is not the unbelievable tale this woman tries to spin, but the fact that some people out there will believe her. It's a litmus test for dip$hits.

She said she had been in Agnew's east Oak Cliff neighborhood on Friday evening to pick up a peach cobbler from a friend. "Something just told me to go past her house," McGriff said.

If the article doesn't provide enough crazy for you, there's a five minute video interview at the link. She makes Octomom look sane.

"Longtime friend Serita Agnew" didn't have her house key under the doormat. I can't imagine why...

“When it comes to credit cards, I don’t play around,” McGriff said

Ex-hooker, credit card scam artist, multiple idendities, and now it's time to fleece the flock...


What's not to like? Sandy McGrifter at your service!

I’m thinking she doesn’t have a professional PR person. How many fur coats? She doesn’t need to steal any more of them? This is Dallas for crying out loud where its maybe cold enough to wear a coat five or six times a year.

Her rap sheet includes a prostitution charge. Now she’s past 50, still limber enough to climb in a window, but she must have been sweating...like a hooker in church!

Church of the Living God must be big on animal sacrifices. Wonder if the neighborhood is missing any puppies.

Now she has a future as a jailhouse pastor.
If she’d gotten clean away, she’d have a future as a pastor in Las Vegas.

I’m pretty sure the Bible says something about lusting after material possessions and stealing. She must’ve skipped over those parts.

Looks like sheared female pelts to me. Good as car seat covers.
No lynx, no fox...pretty shabby for an ex-hooker.
Sofa...Hollywood Regency, of course.
