Chicago minister is charged with four counts of fraud for cheating a federal program to feed poor children and then spending $142,000 on a Bentley

A minister from Chicago is accused of cheating a federal program to feed impoverished children out of money and using $142,000 to buy a Bentley for himself.

Rev Clarence Smith Jr, 45, of the New Life Impact Church, pleaded not guilty to four counts of fraud in US District Court, reported the Chicago Tribune.

Smith allegedly over-reported to the state how many children his church had fed through the program, asking for a bill of $1million.

He then purchased the luxury sedan and wrote personal checks to himself covering other expenses.

Northwest Woodsman: It is unnecessary to question the ethnic component of this situation is it not? Without going further than the headline, we all know. My question is why people elect these criminally oriented people into positions where they have access to other people’s money?
