A former minister in Virginia claimed earlier this year that his porch and car were set on fire, and the side of his house painted with a racial slur.

The financially struggling minister, Olander D. Cuthrell, 42, said he was the target of a hate crime.

Not so.

Turns out, he set it all up.

Cuthrell was sentenced to six months in prison Monday after pleading guilty to lying to an FBI agent during a hate investigation, Progress-index.com reports.

The FBI became involved because of the hate crime claims.
