The former senior pastor of the First United Pentecostal Church in Redding was arrested Thursday afternoon on suspicion of more than 40 counts of child molestation.
Shasta County sheriff's deputies arrested David Leon Bishop at his home about 4 p.m. He was booked into Shasta County jail in lieu of $100,000 bail on multiple counts of alleged child molestation.
Bishop, who had been pastor of the church since the early 1970s, resigned from the church several months ago, but the exact circumstances of his resignation were then unclear.
