Charges against Pastor Creflo Dollar dropped after anger management classes

Georgia “megachurch” pastor Creflo Dollar has successfully had battery charges against him dropped after he completed an anger management program. Dollar was accused last year that he physically attacked his 15-year-old daughter.

Creflo Dollar mugshot“As a prosecutor it is my job to strike the appropriate balance of punishment and rehabilitation in every case I handle,” said State Court Solicitor Jamie K. Inagawa, according to TheCitizen.com. “I feel that my office has accomplished just such a balance in this case. The defendant has been punished for his actions, concerns for his possible re-offending have been addressed and the family unit has been preserved.”

Dollar was originally arrested and taken into custody in June when he was suspected to have “slightly hurt” his 15-year old daughter after they got into an argument about her attending a party. Dollar’s 19-year-old daughter, Alexandria Dollar, later claimed that she saw her father “put both hands around her sister’s neck and [choke] her for about five seconds,” after which she allegedly saw him slap her younger sister in the face and throw her to the ground.

By using the pre-trial intervention program, Dollar avoided court and was not required to even enter a plea in the case.
