GRIFFIN, Ga. – A Georgia pastor is accused of false imprisonment after police said he was keeping at least eight people against their will in his home about an hour south of Atlanta.
According to the Griffin Police Department, Curtis Bankston, 55, and his wife were using their residence as an unlicensed group home and they locked the people who were staying there in a basement at times.
Most of the people living in the basement being used as a personal care home were mentally or physically disabled, police said.

Police said that Bankston and his wife were in control of the disabled individuals’ finances, medications and public benefits, and some of the people were also denied medications and medical care.
By Friday all of the people in the home, between ages 23 to 65, were placed by the Department of Human Services into suitable care and housing, police said, and an investigation was opened into potential neglect and abuse.
