DALLAS — A nationally known televangelist who came to prominence in Central Florida, has become the target of a federal warrant.

Federal agents on Wednesday raided the offices of Benny Hinn near Dallas.

Hinn first gained notoriety in Central Florida in the 1990s, when he was the pastor of a church called the World Outreach Center.

Cameras caught IRS and postal inspectors walking in and out of his Texas office building.

An agent would not go into specifics, but said his division investigated financial crimes against the government, including tax evasion.
