NEW ORLEANS (AP) -- A New Orleans man, who was the minister of
Bible Way Baptist Church, has been indicted for mail fraud and theft of government funds.

According to the federal indictment, after Hurricane Katrina Toris Young applied for an SBA loan to repair and rebuild the church.

Authorities said Thursday that Young submitted fraudulent documents to the Small Business Administration and eventually
received close to $1 million in loan proceeds. Prosecutors say
Young did not use that money to repair or rebuild the church.
