	Former Pastor Sentenced to 16 Years in Prison for Theft Offenses By Leila Atassi Plain Dealer May 1, 2008 http://blog.cleveland.com/metro/2008/05/former_pastor_sentenced_to_16.html Artis Caver, former pastor of Harvest Missionary Baptist Church, was sentenced Thursday to 16 years in prison for stealing nearly $400,000 from the church. Caver, 56, was found guilty last week in Cuyahoga County Common Pleas Court of theft and forgery, three counts of perjury and 20 counts of money laundering dating back to 2000. The pastor, who most recently ministered at New Life Cathedral in Cleveland, used most of the money to rescue his failing tour bus company, AFC Charters Inc., prosecutors said. Judge Nancy Margaret Russo ordered Caver to repay $416,490, according to Ryan Miday, spokesman for Prosecutor Bill Mason's office.
