A pastor with a criminal past

shot the hell out of his ex-wife's husband's care. I guess the whole serving Jesus thing did not rub off on Edward Lavant.

Edward Lavant, 30, a minister and youth pastor at Greater St. Marks Missionary Baptist Church, was charged with firing at a vehicle.

Police said Lavant went to the victim's home off Cherbourg Avenue South and shot three times at an SUV owned by a man married to Lavant's ex-wife.

Police said a bullet lodged in that vehicle was matched with a gun found in Lavant's car.

I'm laughing on the inside here. What kind of loser pastor does a drive-by simply because he is jealous?

Wait... it gets better. Lavant was last in jail only two years ago for attempted murder. How does one become a pastor when they are in prison? I'm betting our trigger happy youth pastor never walked through the doors of a university.
