SELMA, Ala. - A Dallas County minister has been arrested on sex charges involving a minor

Sheriff Harris Huffman said William Best Jr. was charged with rape, sodomy and incest and was being held in the county jail with bond set at $100,000.

Court records do not indicate that Best has an attorney. He is pastor of Living Waters Church in Valley Grande.

District Attorney Michael Jackson says the 47-year-old minister is accused of beginning a sexual relationship with a minor who was 14 and continuing it for three years. He said the minister is accused of abusing the minor at his home and at the church.
