According to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, pastor turned reality TV star Dominique Scott was arrested for grand larceny. Scott is charged with first-degree forgery and three counts of giving false statements.

Prosecutors said Scott submitted false documents that inflated the value of assets and liabilities of a tutoring company that only existed on paper. Scott reportedly attempted to qualify for funding through the Federal Supplemental Education Services tutoring program.

From the AJC.com:

Scott sent to the state Department of Education a false balance sheet, a false statement of net income, a program summary showing a false start date for her company and a forged letter from a fictitious bank representing a non-existent cash line of credit, prosecutors said.

Scott’s company was hired to tutor students in DeKalb, Clayton, Bibb, Richmond and Muscogee counties as a result of the fraudulent documents, prosecutors said.

The federal program eventually dropped Scott’s company, prosecutors said.

If convicted, she faces up to 25 years in prison and fines of up to $400,000.
