Wilson County Pastor Says He Has Nothing to Hide After Home Raided by Federal Agents
Locke said agents seized devices and bank statements during the search, which he linked to allegations of church fund misuse.
- On Sunday, July 12, pastor Greg Locke announced federal agents raided his home during a financial mismanagement investigation, with the Wilson County Sheriff confirming search warrants executed by the FBI and IRS.
- Federal agents told Locke the raid stemmed from an "overabundance" of online allegations regarding "misappropriated funds" during a nearly two-year investigation into his leadership at Global Vision Bible Church.
- About 60 agents surrounded the property during an early morning raid and seized devices and bank statements, an event Locke claimed occurred three weeks into a six-week sabbatical following his son Evan Locke's death in May.
- Locke referenced a book titled "Pulpit of Leaves: Deception in Plain Sight" by former pastors Justin and Kasey Greenwell accusing him of mismanaging finances, which The Roys Report first noted in covering the probe.
- Search warrants targeted Locke's home and his company, Locke Media, though Wilson County Sheriff Robert Bryan confirmed the Global Vision Bible Church itself was excluded from the search warrant execution.
