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.
