San Antonio Woman in Prison for Stealing Over $660 Thousand from Windcrest Church
In a very sad story out of the San Antonio area, Lavelle Wilson from San Antonio is headed to prison after she admitted that she stole more than half a million dollars from a Windcrest church. Wilson took approximately $667,542 from the church to pay numerous personal expenses including a trip to Hawaii, shopping sprees at local malls, dining at upscale restaurants, fast food, personal loan payments, and personal cell phone payments. She also withdrew cash for unknown expenses. She has not yet paid any restitution.
SHE HAS BEEN STEALING SINCE 2014
According to the press release from Bexar, County, Wilson was the executive assistant to Bishop David Copeland. She was in charge of two of the church’s bank accounts. Wilson delayed turning over financial records and it was not until the church obtained the records from the bank that it was discovered that Wilson had been taking money from them as far back as 2014.

NO PRIOR CRIMINAL RECORD:
Wilson, who had no criminal history, was sentenced to seven years in prison. She is currently awaiting transfer from the Bexar County Jail to the Texas Department of Criminal Justice Institutional Division. She has not yet paid any restitution. Was the sentence too much or not enough? Let us know in the Facebook comment of this status.
