FAYETTEVILLE, Ga. -- Creflo Dollar, founder and pastor of World Changers Church International, was arrested early Friday on charges involving the choking of his 15-year-old daughter.
Dollar was taken into custody at his Fayetteville home and charged with simple battery and cruelty to children, NBC station WXIA of Atlanta reported.
According to the report from the Fayette County Sheriff's Office, Dollar's daughter called police to say that her father attacked her after they argued about whether the daughter could attend a party.
The report says the daughter alleged that Dollar choked her, then threw her to the ground, punched her and hit her with his shoe. The responding officer noticed a scratch on the daughter's neck near her throat; the daughter said her father gave her the scratch during the fight.

It would be great if there was a stadium where he was confronted with all the people he's ripped off, who lost their homes and who knows what else because they trusted and/or sent this turd their money.

(11,001 posts)his daughter from rambling the mean streets of Atlanta, Georgia at 1:00 a.m. How it became physical between the two is still in question. The description of the physical violence is disturbing. However other reports seem to indicate there is more to this story than the surfaced report we have so far.

(135,425 posts)The preacher's kids are the worst, it seems. Every preacher's kid I have ever known was a serious hellraiser (and some of 'em even went into the family business themselves).
The father wasn't too smart in any event--he shoulda called 911 first and told the police he had an incorrigible child on his hands, and threatened the kid with reform or military school--after all, he can afford that kind of thing.
