COLBERT COUNTY, AL (WAFF) –

A former Sheffield church leader facing sex abuse charges is scheduled to go to trial next month.

The Alabama Bureau of Investigation arrested Oliver Brazelle back in January.

He was working as the minister of music at First United Methodist Church when an investigation by the church found inappropriate behavior between Brazelle and three male victims.

Church leaders turned over their findings to police, who charged Brazelle with sodomy and sexual abuse.
