Creflo Dollar was arrested in Georgia on charges of attacking his 15-year-old daughter, reports WXIA-TV.

The founder and pastor of World Changers Church International is accused of simple battery and cruelty to children for allegedly attacking his daughter during a fight over whether she could attend a party.

The police report says Dollar allegedly choked his daughter, then threw her to the ground, punched her and hit her with his shoe during a fight at his metro Atlanta home.

When police interviewed Creflo Dollar, he said he tried to restrain his daughter when she “became very disrespectful,” according to the report.

Dollar acknowleged spanking his daughter and wrestling her to the floor, but said it was because she hit him.

The responding officer noticed a scratch on the daughter’s neck near her throat, WXIA reports. She told police her father gave her the scratch during the fight.

Fayette County Sheriff’s Office investigator Brent Rowan says the 50-year-old pastor “got physical” with her, leaving her with “superficial injuries,” the Associated Press reports.

Creflo Dollar, who preaches a “Prosperity theology” in his Sunday sermons that are broadcast internationally, bonded out of a Fayette county jail this morning.

The theology, which teaches that God wants to bless the faithful with earthly riches, drew the attention of Sen.

Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, who targeted six ministers in an investigation in 2011 into the personal use of church-owned airplanes, luxury homes and credit cards by pastors and their families, the Associated Press reports.

All six insisted they comply with tax regulations for religious nonprofits. Dollar was one of four ministers who refused to cooperate with the investigation.
