Evangelist Matt Pitt leads The Basement monthly service at Boutwell

I've never heard of this man, but I predict he'll get less than a slap on the wrist. After all, the former manager of FloGas didn't get even that for committing the same crime.

I don't know anything about the "flogas" man. Is he "leading" a youth group?

Pitt said in an interview Wednesday night that the vehicle he was driving was owned by a friend and had been used for events at The Basement, a youth ministry he founded, to simulate a police car. It was part of the ministry's outreach to youth to steer them away from crime, he said.

Interesting.

He may want to "steer away" from crime himself in the future. 

I woiuldn't think so. Roger Lovelace was manager of the Florence Gas Dept. for several years. He was forced to take retirement after several "problems" were found in that city organization. As far as I know, the FBI investigation was never complete.

He then went to work for Brinks Security, where he had some kind of badge, purchased a blue light, and set about stopping cars. His faux career in law enforcement came to an abrupt end when he stopped a Florence police officer, who was...on his way to church. It then came to light that Lovelace had been indulging in his odd hobby for some time.

In the mean time, Lovelace's brother-in-law and several others had benefited greatly from city contracts. We as taxpayers are the losers.

That's funny! I bet he was surprised. LOL

Yet another hack "evangelist" who has found a way to exploit religion to make a name and fame for himself.  Evidently genuine success had eluded this character, but he has now learned to tweak the emotions of folks with his "message" and gain credibility with the gullible.
