A pastor is reportedly the subject of a county attorney general’s investigation stemming from a church raffle that offered a new C8-generation Chevrolet Corvette Stingray as the grand prize. According to a report from the Erie Times-News, the pastor fabricated the name of the raffle winner, as well as the winners of several other smaller prizes.

The Erie County District Attorney’s Office is investigating Miceli on allegations that the 42-year-old rigged the Corvette raffle, tampered with its records and committed theft. According to the Erie Times-News, Miceli “admitted to publicly falsifying the results of the grand prize winner” during the investigation.
Miceli allegedly also made up some of the winners for the $500 prizes, according to affidavits for some of the search warrants. In an interview with detectives, Miceli reportedly admitted to making up the names of four of the $500 winners where no name was associated with the winning number — so, he personally chose the winners, who were allegedly either family friends or his favorite parishioners.
As for the $50,000 grand prize, Miceli admitted to moving the money from the car raffle account to another account, according to the Erie Times-News; he claims this other account is an interest-bearing account that is under the church’s name.
