A Spokane church pastor is accused of stealing prescription medication from a parishioner.

Greg Scott Glover, 35, was arrested about 3 p.m. today after a Spokane Valley police detective hide in the victim’s home as Glover stole Hydrocodone pills, police said.

Glover, pastor of ConnectPoint Church at 1316 N. Lincoln, was booked into Spokane County Jail Friday afternoon on two counts of possession of a controlled substance.

Detective Mark Fox arrested Glover at a ConnectPoint member’s North Park Road home in Spokane Valley. The woman, who had foot surgery and uses a wheelchair, told a Crime Check dispatcher on Oct. 1 that she suspected Glover had been stealing 45 to 60 Hydrocodone pills a month for about six months.

A friend set up a video camera in the woman’s home and recorded Glover stealing pills Sept. 30. Fox said he found 14 Hydrocodone pills when he arrested Glover today- the exact amount of pills missing from the woman’s supply.

Police say Glover has stolen drugs from the woman on at least four prior occasions and may have other victims.

Anyone who feels they may be a victim is asked to call Crime Check at (509) 456-2233.

    Praise Jesus and pass the Hydros!

    Maybe Satan made him do it?

    This guy has a future as KCSD deputy

    Interesting gambit. As pastor, he’d get “prayers for healing” to read every Sunday and know exactly who was hurting.

    Daisy is gonna read some kind of liberal plot in this whole thing…bless her sweet little soul!

    Zelda; exactly, and then, later in the week, pay a “sick call” to those suffering…and pilfer pills from them. Brilliant!

    Beats robbing a pharmacy.

    I think this is a set up. Why is it that conservative, Bible-centric pastors are always in the news as druggies or supposedly involved in a clandestine homosexual relationship? BECAUSE THEY WERE SET UP BY BARRY O’KENYAN 2000 OBAMATRON, THAT’S WHY!

    Just visit this link on the pastor’s website. He wouldn’t say this kind of thing if he was really a liberal (drug abuser).

    I know, stop having the pastor over and (now this is deep) attend another church. Sleezy to bait anyone.

    soccermomsusie…

    Great link! thanks.

    Getting stoned. Alone. Stoned alone. Bummer. Self-martyrdom is a thankless task, for sure. (Thanks for the link, soccermomsusie.)

    Mark Fox is an excellent officer. I know him…he’s pretty stright up. Pix don’t lie when it comes to this type of thing. Pastor needs a trial…he’ll get his day in court. Reserve judgement…judge NOT lest ye be judged.

    Wow…this bust has the Daisy Minken seal of approval!!

    Daisy, you might try to live by your scriptural ‘quotation’; you’ve been dealing out harsh judgments for years, you smug and sanctimonius old hypocrit.

    Zelda your are so right……….find out who’s ill ( well, for this guy who’s in serious PHYSICAL pain) and then pay a “pastorly” visit. Holy scam, Batman! The guy’s an “oxy” MORON though…like, take way too many maybe?!?!? A few here and there (still very wrong but you get my point……) but to take so many and think it wouldn’t be noticed?!?!? Wonder if he listens to good ole Rushie Limbaugh?!?!? At least The Rushter had a maid who was buying them for him or forging scripts or something………..the poor Pastor had to do his own dirty work. Praise Jeebus and pass the heavy narcotics man…………….
