A Newark Valley Pastor is accused of stealing from his church and Habitat for Humanity.
State Police have charged David Heckman, Junior of Binghamton with grand larceny.
Police say that as treasurer of the Tioga County Habitat for Humanity, he pocketed more than 50 thousand dollars given to him as mortgage payments from the residents of the Habitat homes.
He's also accused of making unauthorized purchases of 15 hundred dollars from the account of the First Congregational United Church of Christ in Newark Valley where he was pastor.
Heckman has been removed as Habitat treasurer and is on a leave of absence from the Church.
