“Bling Bishop” Lamor Whitehead, the flamboyant preacher known for his ostentatious lifestyle, has been dealt a significant blow as Judge Lorna G. Schofield orders him to federal lockup. This decision comes in the wake of Whitehead’s conviction for attempted extortion, a crime deemed a “crime of violence” by the court.
Whitehead’s legal saga has been marked by twists and turns, culminating in his remand to custody pending his sentencing in July. The judge’s ruling underscores the seriousness of the charges against him and the potential risk he poses to the community.
Prosecutors painted a damning picture of Whitehead during his trial, portraying him as a serial con artist who preyed on vulnerable individuals for personal gain. Among his offenses was the exploitation of an elderly parishioner, from whom he illicitly extracted a substantial sum of money. Additionally, Whitehead attempted to leverage his supposed connections to Mayor Eric Adams for nefarious purposes, further demonstrating his brazen disregard for the law.
In a particularly audacious move, Whitehead allegedly brandished confidential case documents during a publicized church service, flouting legal boundaries and intimidating his victims. His actions not only violated a restraining order but also showcased a blatant disregard for the judicial process.

Despite his legal troubles, Whitehead continues to maintain his innocence, with his defense attorney expressing dismay at the judge’s decision. However, the gravity of the charges against him, coupled with his flagrant disregard for legal constraints, has left little room for leniency in the eyes of the court. As Whitehead awaits his sentencing, his incarceration serves as a stark reminder of the consequences awaiting those who exploit and manipulate others for personal gain.
