Clyde Winstead is glad 64-year-old William McCullers is currently behind bars in the Washington County Jail.
The Washington County Sheriff’s Office is accusing the area pastor of ten counts of lewd and lascivious acts on four victims under the age of 12. Although he’s only been charged and not convicted, neighbors say they’re not surprised.
“It happens in schools and everywhere else,” Winstead said. “Depravity of man. That’s just the way it is. Any of us are capable of something like that, but God forbid.”

A former occasional pastor at the Tabernacle of Praise in Chipley, deputies say McCullers was on the run with his wife Thursday before being captured in Dothan later that night.
“He needs to be punished for this,” said resident Melody Riddle. “You know? Like I said because damages and destroys lots of lives because were talking about souls.”
Souls that residents say shouldn’t change their thoughts on the church, but make them more aware of its higher-ups.
“We have grandchildren under the age of 12 and I can imagine that it would make you a little more suspicious of everybody. I would be a little more suspicious of the pastors and everybody now. Although you shouldn’t judge,” mentioned Riddle.
No word on whether his wife, Linda McCullers, will face any charges.
“Well I wouldn’t say on TV what i think they ought to do to him but I’m glad they caught him,” said Winstead.
His bond has been set at $500,000. Officials say the alleged incidents did not happen at a church McCullers served as pastor. He has been ordered to not contact the victims in this case.
