Michael Vahle was arrested a week ago at Our Savior Lutheran Church in Memphis. County officials in Prescott said officers are bringing Vahle back to Arizona Thursday. The 53-year-old Vahle - also a substitute teacher in Mississippi -is charged with 20 counts of child molestation and 21 counts of sexual conduct with a minor. Yavapai County authorities said the alleged sexual misconduct involved a child under the age of 15 and occurred between 1989 and 1993.
