Former Alameda-Contra Costa Transit chief financial officer Lewis Clinton was convicted Monday of four counts of grand theft and other charges for stealing more than $500,000 from one of Oakland's largest and most prominent churches.

Jurors, who deliberated for two days, also convicted Clinton, 60, of tax evasion, money laundering and perjury for taking money from the Allen Temple Baptist Church in East Oakland between April 2007 through February 2013.
