CALDWELL A woman from Oklahoma, who recently moved to Idaho to start a pilot Bible college, was arrested Wednesday on charges of embezzlement out of Tulsa County, Oklahoma.

Melody Miles was arrested at Valley Church in Caldwell following a healing meeting where she was a guest speaker.

A tip from a KTVB viewer led to her arrest. The tip claimed that Miles was wanted in Oklahoma. KTVB independently verified the claims and discovered that Miles had warrants out for her arrest and that she and her husband Ken were in the middle of a felony embezzlement case.

We learned that Miles had two healing meetings scheduled for Wednesday, one at 10:30 a.m. at Valley Church in Caldwell and another at 7 p.m. at Life Church in Meridian.

KTVB involved police because of the possibility of Miles receiving donations without people knowing about the current charges against her.

A KTVB crew met police officers at Valley Church where they waited for Miles to finish speaking at the healing meeting she led.
