The pastor of the First African Methodist Episcopal Church, one of the oldest and most prominent black congregations in Los Angeles, used church credit cards to pay for at least $122,000 in personal expenses over a three-year period, including jewelry, family vacations, clothing and auto supplies, according to documents and church sources.

Hunter also told The Los Angeles Times that he is working with federal tax officials to repay back taxes, penalties and interest amassed over 17 years.
