Fayette County deputies arrested megachurch pastor Creflo Dollar Jr. early Friday morning for allegedly assaulting his 15-year-old daughter.

Dollar’s daughter sustained “superficial injuries” to her neck, said sheriff’s office spokesman Brent Rowan. The 50-year-old minister was charged with simple battery, family violence and cruelty to children.

Deputies were summoned to the minister’s home around 1 a.m. after receiving a 911 call. They discovered “enough probable cause to make an arrest,” Rowan said.

Besides the physical evidence, Rowan said deputies also interviewed Dollar’s 19-year-old daughter, who confirmed her sibling’s version of events. Apparently the altercation centered around a party the alleged victim wanted to attend.

“During the argument father began to get physical with her,” Rowan said.

The charismatic pastor of World Changers Church International in College Park was released on a $5,000 bond Friday morning. A spokesman for Dollar said they will be responding to the accusations sometime today
