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.
Clinton had been free on $100,000 bail, but after he was convicted, Alameda County Superior Court Judge Scott Patton remanded him into custody, and he's now being held without bail at the Santa Rita Jail in Dublin until he's sentenced on Sept. 8.
