COLUMBUS, Ind. — First Christian Church officials have confirmed that senior pastor, Justin White, has resigned his position with the church.
White was arrested Friday for insurance fraud and contributing to the delinquency of a minor by Columbus Police. According to police reports, White has been accused of staging a burglary at his Columbus home and then submitting a false insurance claim. Reports continued to say White also used a troubled, underage parishioner to obtain drugs. Court documents indicate White committed the crime in order to pay a drug debt.
No word on a timeline for legal proceedings has been released.
