A local preacher is accused of stealing nearly $85,000 and spending it on Botox, booze, plastic surgery and nice clothes.
The Rev. William Blasingame, 66, recently resigned from St. Paul's Memorial Episcopal Church in Stapleton, on Staten Island, the Daily News reported.
Investigators said Blasingame took the money over a three-year period, and also used it to buy club memberships and auto insurance.
"The investigation arose from a phone call from church leaders about disparities in the church books," a source told the Daily News.
The funds were to have been used for maintenance of the church's grounds, as well as to help struggling parishioners, investigators said.
Blasingame was arraigned Friday after turning himself in that day. He'd resigned in January and is scheduled to appear in court next month, according to the Daily News report.

I am not surprised by this in the least.I had uncles that did this priest thing.wow my family thought they came from heaven on a escalator.they were just as human as anyone. you know it is funny, when the adults were not in the room, they would tell the little kid what they were really thinking. some of there opinions really cracked me up.i had one great uncle that was a big wig i do not remember his title but he had a hat and you were supposed to kiss his ring. i said no and got in trouble by my father.they are human.
