A pastor in Colorado Springs, Colorado is part of a theft investigation for using money from his church trust fund to pay for his two children's college education.
A police detective said in an affidavit released that Rev. Donald Armstrong may have misappropriated as much as $392,000 from a Grace Church trust fund.
Authorities took financial documents and computers from the Grace and Episcopal Church in November after an 18-month investigation. Armstrong is accused of taking funds from Grace and St. Stephen's, the congregation he headed before he broke away in early 2007 to affiliate with the Convocation of Anglicans in North American.
After the split, the Episcopal Diocese of Colorado recommended that Armstrong be defrocked and that he could no longer officiate in the Episcopal Church in the United States.
Dennis Hartley, the attorney of the accused, declined comment. After the raid Hartley said investigators would find out there was no case against Armstrong, noting that the Internal Revenue Service had investigated him for a year and a half and discovered nothing.
