WOODSTOCK, Va. -- A Luray area pastor will appear in a Shenandoah County court Monday on charges he robbed a dollar store at gunpoint this month.

Police charged Hobert Wayne Bryant, 55, with robbery, use of a firearm during the commission of a felony and eluding police during the May 8 incident.

Employees at a local Dollar General store told police a man wearing a blue coat, dark knit hat and sunglasses entered the store some time after 4 p.m., displayed a gun and demanded the contents of the cash register before fleeing in a white Ford Taurus.

Bryant has been the longtime pastor of Rocky Branch Baptist Church, near Luray.

.... as things get more and more desperate.

nt

but I had to laugh...my husband got let go from his truck driving job today. So I needed a moment of hysterical laughter.

I think I would have gone for a bigger take then the Dollar General.

*sigh*

:hug: I hope y'all will be OK! Sorry to hear the bad news. :hug:

After the shock, we'll pick up and move on. Luckily there are other companies looking for drivers.

Much weeping, wailing and Bible thumping should do the trick. Get his family in the audience and apologize to them in front of the whole church.

I think you've got an unholy cross between Jimmy Swaggart, disgraced preacher, and Jack Swigert, Apollo 13 astronaut.

derivitive of Sweigart.
