Pinellas pastor and wife ran Home Depot theft ring for years. Now they face prison

[Zorro]

A former Pinellas County pastor and his wife were sentenced to prison this month after a jury found them guilty of operating a multimillion-dollar Home Depot theft ring for nearly a decade.

After a two-week trial, Robert and Jaclyn Dell were convicted in February for selling stolen power tools on eBay from Home Depot stores across seven Florida counties. Prosecutors said the couple earned more than $2 million between 2015 and 2023.

Robert Dell, 59, was charged with five felonies, including racketeering and money laundering. Jaclyn Dell, 41, was charged with one felony count of conspiracy to commit racketeering.

The stolen goods were delivered nightly to the Dells’ St. Petersburg home by two people the couple met through an addiction recovery program they helped lead at The Rock Church, where Robert Dell was once a pastor.

6. Welp, religion has always been a scam...

No surprises here—especially as I’m in Floriduh, where there’s not only a church on almost every block, but most of them are tiny, weird-arsed non-denominational ones run by creepers just like this. *sigh*

7. The holy white Christian nationalists

are crying out that they are being persecuted. How many of these numbskulls are guilty of theft, fraud, felony violence, and sex crimes? Seems like something new on a daily basis.

By the way, I am a native Floridian. I’ve seen these grifters invade our state with the advent of our own republican regime. Time to put an end to it!
