Fraud of the Week: Deliver Us From Evil

Shortly before 4:00 a.m. one morning, three arsonists kicked in the door of a Georgia church, leaving a trail of gasoline down the aisle from the pulpit to the back of the church. They then ignited a blaze that gutted the sanctuary. At least that’s what investigators believe happened to New Life Deliverance Church on Dec. 7, 2005.

Of the three men who have since been charged in connection with the blaze, two pleaded guilty on June 14, 2010 in Barrow County, Ga. Superior Court. The third, a seemingly unlikely suspect, continues to insist that he has no ties to the fire. This man is the church’s former pastor, 50-year-old Rev. Quincy Arnold, 50, of Lawrenceville, Ga.
