ATLANTA (AP) — Megachurch pastor and televangelist Creflo Dollar was arrested early Friday after authorities say he slightly hurt his 15-year-old daughter in a fight at his metro Atlanta home.

Fayette County Sheriff's deputies responded to a call of domestic violence at the home in unincorporated Fayette County around 1 a.m., Investigator Brent Rowan said. The 50-year-old pastor and his daughter were arguing over whether she could go to a party when Dollar "got physical" with her, leaving her with "superficial injuries," Rowan said.

Dollar faces misdemeanor charges of simple battery and cruelty to children. He bonded out of Fayette County jail Friday morning. Dollar's lawyer Nikki Bonner said he's gathering information on the case and had no comment.

With a name like that, it was only a matter of time.

And we WONDER why today’s kids run wild????

[apillar]

Wonder if he referred to himself as the “Almighty Dollar”?

15-year-old girl arguing to go to a party at 1:00 in the morning? What’s wrong with this picture?

[apillar]

What the matter? Dollar was just trying to knock some cents into the girl...

(rimshot!)

[Revolting cat!]

Evidently, the daughter was asking for Dollar’s money.

[Revolting cat!]

Just like mine father said, Dollar’s not what it used to be!

[21twelve]

I was wondering that too. Why didn't she just sneak out like I used to? ;)

And like my brother says, there is a fine line dividing us from loving adults and monsters. It is called will power and restraint that keeps me from throttling my teenage kids some times.

Creflo was quick to defend Bishop Long when Long was accused to paying young men for sex. Way too quick.

[tflabo]

Don’t devalue the Dollar any further.

From Wiki: Creflo Dollar is the pastor of World Changers Church International of College Park, Georgia. Presumably he chose that name himself, completely free of fear that it would be soon be better known as Money Changers Church International by the 30,000 members who weekly enrich its coffers and make it possible for Creflo to maintain the two jets—one Gulfstream 3 and one Lear—that he uses to shuttle back and forth between Madison Square Garden (where he does a Saturday night service for an audience of 6,000) and Atlanta (where he does a Sunday morning service), not to mention occasional visits to his offices in the United Kingdom, South Africa, Australia and Nigeria. Creflo’s wife Taffi Dollar—and here we remind you once again that we are not lapsing into fiction at any point during the creation of this article—Taffi Dollar is responsible for the household budget at the $3 million Dollar mansion in Atlanta, and the more modest $2.44 million Dollar condo overlooking Central Park in Manhattan. Asked about the Dollar dollars by CBS News yesterday, Dollar said it was untrue that he had two Rolls-Royces; he claimed that he only had one Rolls-Royce and it was given to him by his congregation as a surprise. He also said he did not give $500,000 of church funds to fellow prosperity gospel evangelist Kenneth Copeland on the occasion of Copeland’s 40th wedding anniversary. Accordingly, Dollar’s annual budget for his operation was estimated at “about 80 million”

Let’s hope this is the beginning of many seeing Dollar for the wolf in sheep’s clothing he is.
