Detroit Minister found 'Not Guilty' on all counts in Domestic Violence case

DETROIT (Tell Us Det) - A pastor charged with misdemeanor domestic violence involving his estranged wife has finally been acquitted.

A Wayne County jury early this week returned the not guilty verdict in the case of the Rev. Horace Sheffield III.

The charges stemmed from a Jan. 10, 2014, incident at the home they shared in Detroit. Both said at the time that they were in the midst of a divorce.

Sheffield is pastor of New Destiny Christian Fellowship Church. In a statement, he says he was “portrayed as a physical abuser and even though the charge itself only alleged I removed a cellphone out of someone’s hand.” He says he plans to move on “without this unjust burden.”

Rev. Horace Sheffield issued the following statement in regards to being found not-guilty today in domestic violence case:

"For the last year I have been dealing with one of the most challenging situations I have ever encountered. The accusations, indictments and embarrassment I have suffered has caused me to have many sleepless nights, poor health and tremendous financial losses. I was portrayed as a physical abuser and even though the charge itself only alleged I removed a cell phone out of someone's hand."

Sheffield last year unsuccessfully sought the U.S. House seat held by Congressman John Conyers.
