[RI] Pastor indicted on charges in growing of marijuana

Pastor indicted on charges in growing of marijuana
01:00 AM EDT on Friday, May 13, 2011

PROVIDENCE — The pastor of a West Warwick parish was indicted Wednesday on federal charges of conspiracy and cultivating more than 100 marijuana plants in his church.

Erik Johansson, 48, an ordained minister for Prospect Ministries Inc., was arrested last September after the West Warwick police executed a search warrant at his church. The police seized 183 marijuana plants in several grow rooms, $565 and other supplies and items used to grow marijuana. Officers also discovered an extensive duct system to deliver heat and release carbon dioxide.

The police found two registration cards — 2009 and 2010 — that allow him to be a caregiver in the state’s medical-marijuana program. However, state law allows the licensees to grow no more than 24 plants for up to five patients. The federal authorities often prosecute those who grow more than 100 plants.

Under federal law, a grower of more than 100 plants faces a minimum of five years in prison.

Following his arrest, Johansson applied to open one of the first medical-marijuana dispensaries to legally sell marijuana to patients in the state. The Health Department did not select his group, Rhode Island Compassion Center.

In his application, Johansson cried foul over his treatment by the police and their decision to destroy his marijuana crop.

“The amount of medicine lost and its effects on our patients has been excruciating,” he wrote. “The physical, psychological and emotional effects have been devastating to us.”

Johansson’s live-in girlfriend, Lydia Brindamour, also was arrested. On Monday, she signed an agreement to plead guilty to a federal charge of aiding and abetting him in the cultivation of the marijuana plants.

Johansson and Brindamour are free on unsecured bond.
