Just got word that former Broadmoor Baptist Executive Pastor Riley Brown pleaded guilty in Madison County Circuit Court.  He was indicted for multiple counts of embezzlement.  He was sentenced to serve 15 years in prison but the court suspended ten years of the sentence.  Under #585, that probably means he will only serve 25% of the 5-year term.

He will not do well in prison.

What? That wasn't just a Kingfish rumor? How could that be? There's no crime in Madison.

And also in Canton, "Canton Alderman Andrew Grant has pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit voter fraud. He has been sentenced to five years with five years suspended and five years probation. He will step down from his role as Alderman and will not seek political office in the future.
Last week, Courtney Rainey was found guilty on one count in the Canton voter fraud case. A jury found her guilty of count two for a charge of witness intimidation. The jury was hung on count one, which was the voter fraud charge".

Seems to be a discrepancy.

it is so sad that churches go through this... Satan has such a strong hold on so many people. Our FBCJ family prays Broadmoor gets through this and gets stronger than ever. Im sure they will

just think of all the unsaved souls who will just use this as reasoning for staying lost...the church should have turned him in!

I he only serves 25% of a 5 year sentence (so he serves 15 months), then justice will not have been served.

i m shocked they would do this to a man of god. he's willing to pay back all the money he embezzled...........but there is just one problem, HE SPENT EVERY DIME OF IT!

I CANNOT understand what is wrong with the authorities in madison county. this is a god fearing pastor. how can they do such a thing. he did not embezzle anything. he simply ' borrowed ' that money to catch up on a few bills and he had every intention of putting it back. in my law class at sunday school they taught me that is a civil case , not a criminal case. he was gonna put it back, but he just was not given enough time by those heathen prosecutors . that DA 's office will suffer eternal hellfire and damnation as a result of what they have done to this poor preacher.

Remember sinners; Paul was in prison. He committed murder(he had steven stoned to death). He will do well in prison storing treasures in heaven!

@2:49 Why is spewing hate toward Caucasians fashionable but if saying the same exact words toward a minority it becomes an offense worthy of job termination?

@2:55 . . . Please do pray for this man and the men who lead your church. Major issues at both.

What about repaying the money? Some of it was mine.

I disagree with the poster who says 'he will not do well in prison'. I have a personal lifelong friend who spent years in prison and has, since release, spent more years in prison ministry. This man will no doubt be of help to others while incarcerated. He and they will benefit.

Stronger than ever by praying?? It would be smarter for Broadmoor to put their trust in better accounting systems and controls.

it is a horrible thing to steal money people while you act like they are your loved ones, money they gave to another purpose. Was justice severed? 90 days would be too short but 15 months will make an impression, 1 days would be enough for me. I am not one to give fallen Pastors a second chance.
Ruined his life, hurt his family bad. was going bankrupt over not being able to control debt which is a solid Biblical Principle worth it? Probably could have appealed to those with fat wallets and got some help, but methinks he liked the beach, Disney etc.
Baptist have a fault in embracing 'reformed' sinners, forgive but don't put them in leadership, I expect he is back in a church somewhere in the future.

The key is to hit these guys who steal from a church, school, 501c3 with a felony conviction or plea. It's the scarlet F that will follow them forever. Sentencing for a crime of dishonesty, theft or moral turpitude disqualifies you from most honest jobs: that still leaves room to run for Congress or Senate.

Based on the severity of the offenses, it sure seems like Alston should've gotten a lot more time than this guy......but he didn't.

Why has this not hit the TV or newspapers?
