Former New Birth security guard pleads not guilty to burglary
The only young man still charged with the burglary of the New Birth Missionary Baptist Church -- a crime that played into the controversy around Bishop Eddie Long -- was in court Tuesday to announce that he is innocent.
Anthony Boyd, surrounded by family and friends , stood when his name was called in DeKalb County Superior Court but his attorney, David Fife, spoke for him.
Prosecutors say Boyd used his job as a security guard to help another break into Long's office at New Birth a year ago. Roughly $100,000 in jewelry and electronics was reported stolen.
