Virginia Pastor Arrested After Lying About Being Shot And Robbed By A Black Man

by Randa Morris 

On February 5, Louisa County, Virginia media outlets reported that Pastor George Hunley had been robbed and shot twice by a black man, after he stopped to offer help to a family whom he said was stranded on the road.
According to WTVR:

“Hunley told police he had stopped to check on a man, woman and infant he saw in a car along the side of Chalk Level Road. That is when the ‘Good Samaritan’ was robbed. A fight between the man and Hunley allegedly ensued and Hunley was shot twice.

Here’s more on the original story, from CBS 6.
Just 24 hours later, WTVR and WWBT reported that the supposed “good Samaritan pastor” was arrested for making false statements to police. Loiusa Sheriff Office’s Major Don Lowe told reporters on February 6:

“Everything right now points to us believing that there was no armed robbery. There was no biracial couple. None of that really happened.”

According to local law enforcement, Hunley’s story quickly fell apart. There was no blood in his vehicle, which he claimed to have used to drive home from the alleged robbery scene. Police also recovered items Hunley claimed were stolen during the robbery, including his wallet and checkbook.
According to WWBT, police said they weren’t able to locate the crime scene:

“Even after he pointed it out to us. There was no evidence of any blood struggle, any kind of marks in the road where people had pulled over or anything of that nature.”  

Here’s WWBT’s report on Hunley’s arrest:
NBC12 – WWBT – Richmond, VA News On Your Side According to NBC 12, Hunley has been formally charged with falsely summonsing a police officer with intent to deceive or mislead. He was released on $2,500 bond.
There’s no word from police in regards to Hunley’s motive in all of this.
Now, about that turkey fryer fire which decimated Hunley’s home last year… it looks like there just happened to be a propane tank very near to the place that Hunley was supposedly frying the Thanksgiving turkey.
According to his own statements, he conveniently went out to the shed, leaving the turkey fryer unattended, just minutes before the whole thing went, “KABLAM!”
Nothing odd about that story.
I hear the good pastor and his wife got a brand new house following their ordeal.
