Pastor fatally shot in drug sting (http://www.cnn.com/2009/CRIME/09/04/georgia.pastor.shot/index.html)
A north Georgia pastor was shot to death by police when he struck an officer with his car after he was seen in a vehicle with a drug suspect, authorities told CNN.
Authorities say they found nothing illegal in Jonathan Ayers' car after he was slain during a drug sting.
Jonathan Ayers, pastor at Shoal Creek Baptist Church in Lavonia, Georgia, died after the incident Tuesday afternoon in the nearby town of Toccoa, Georgia, police said. The Georgia Bureau of Investigation (GBI) is looking into the shooting.
An undercover drug task force team had set up an operation at a local business, and had a woman under surveillance -- someone they had bought drugs from on two previous occasions, GBI spokesman John Bankhead told CNN Thursday

A Nassau County nun will have a few more penance prayers to say after police arrested her for suspected drunken driving in Wantagh early Tuesday evening.
Sister Lauren M. Hanley, 68, Spiritual Development Director of St. Frances de Chantal Church in Wantagh, was arrested at around 6:30 p.m. Tuesday on charges of driving while intoxicated (DWI) and aggravated driving while intoxicated, both misdemeanors.
Nassau County prosecutors say that Sister Hanley drank a half a bottle of gin at the church that afternoon before getting behind the wheel. According to witnesses, she zigzagged down Hawthorne Avenue, sideswiped several cars, and narrowly missed hitting a group of children playing in front of the church, before crashing into a tree. Sister Hanley reportedly had a blood-alcohol content (BAC) of 0.18%, more than twice the legal limit in New York. Police also found a bottle of liquor in her car.
