Selling a Church? Now Why Didn't I Think of That?!
Pastor Gets 18 Months for Selling Church
from The Associated Press
MANTECA, Calif. -
A pastor accused of selling the town's oldest church pleaded guilty to embezzlement on Monday and agreed to 18 months in prison, court officials said.
Randall Radic, 53, entered his plea as part of a deal in which prosecutors agreed to drop nine other charges.
Radic had preached at First Congregational Church in Ripon for nearly a decade before he sold the church last October for $525,000, allegedly using the money to buy a BMW. He also faked documents that gave him possession of his house, which was owned by the church, then used the property to take out loans, authorities said.
Before the plea deal, Radic had faced up to nine years in prison. Radic remains in San Joaquin County Jail on $750,000 bail.
