CBS News has released the 911 call from Creflo Dollar's daughter after the alleged battery incident earlier this month. In the tape, the daughter of the World Changers pastor says that she does not show any signs of injury, but she does state that her father "choked me and punched me in the face." She admits that the confrontation stemmed from her wanting to go to a party, and her father being unhappy with her grades. Dollar, whose megachurch has a satellite church in Peachtree Corners, was arrested on battery charges that evening. In his first sermon after the arrest, he said the truth will come to light.
