A well-known Kentucky businessman is under investigation, accused of stealing from a church.

Delbert Ault is charged with fraudulent use of a credit card and theft by deception.

Police say he pulled off his crimes, while working at the Centenary United Methodist Church of Lexington.

Lexington authorities say Ault drove buses for the church, and is accused of stealing hundreds of dollars while he was working.

He was arrested in September for using church credit cards to make purchases at area Speedways.

He admitted to stealing the money, according to police, but never paid it back.

The church has no comment on the incident, but says Ault is still a member of the church community.

My husband and I knew Delbert as a grad student. We did not care for him then. A few years after graduating, he called my husband to offer him a job and my husband refused flat out. He is an embarrassment to the field of audiology and certainly gives used car salesmen a bad reputation. But his personality has never changed!!

Actually, there is another judge, the one at the Fayette County Courthouse, and this one should make sure that this gentleman is taken off of the streets for a long while

It makes me physically ill to see that Delbert is still getting away with lies and crime after all these years. I've known him since he was a teenager and he needs to be stopped!
