GATLINBURG PASTOR ACCUSED OF MISUSING CREDIT CARD:
Pastor Ronald Lukat at Gatlinburg Presbyterian Church is accused of using the church's credit card for personal purchases. Lukat also served as the church Treasurer, which should have thrown up a red flag to start with. Church member Peggy Noblitt said he was a wonderful pastor and was loved by the members. The church somehow owed some $40k in unpaid taxes and had to close the church daycare. Lukat is being held on $10,000 bond....hopefully he won't use the church credit card to post bond.
