BRIDGEPORT The pastor of the Fountain of Youth Cathedral won the hearts of his congregation then stole their church, police said.
Bishop Franklin L. Fountain may eventually have to answer to a higher authority but in the meantime he will face a Superior Court judge.
Fountain is charged with first-degree larceny and second-degree forgery after police said he forged deed documents and sold the Madison Avenue church to himself for $1.
City property records show Fountain is now the owner of the church and property valued at $1.5 million.
Isnt this all ridiculous, Fountain, 55, said Wednesday after being released on a promise to appear in court. I am the pastor and I deserve respect and I expect that this will all be worked out.
