Monsignor Meth
    #21652372 - 05/08/15 08:28 AM (9 years, 12 days ago)

http://www.nytimes.com/2015/05/08/nyregion/monsignor-is-sentenced-for-running-a-meth-ring.html?_r=0

HARTFORD — A suspended Roman Catholic clergyman was sentenced to five and a half years in prison on Thursday shortly after apologizing for running a methamphetamine distribution ring and letting down scores of friends and parishioners.

The clergyman, Msgr. Kevin Wallin, had faced a maximum sentence of 10 years and had asked for four.

“I have never from the day I was arrested denied my guilt,” Monsignor Wallin, 63, said at the sentencing hearing in Federal District Court here. “The day I was arrested was a very good day. It took me out of that situation.”

Prosecutors had said Monsignor Wallin received meth in the mail from California suppliers and supplied a New York distributor. He also bought an adult video and sex toy shop named Land of Oz and Dorothy’s Place, apparently to launder profits from the drug ring, they said.

Monsignor Wallin, who pleaded guilty to a meth conspiracy charge in 2013, has been in jail for 28 months. With time served, he will be behind bars for about three more years.

Judge Alfred V. Covello also imposed supervised release of five years. He told Monsignor Wallin he could “not ignore your decision to infect your community” with the drug.

“For you, sir, this is an unhappy day,” Judge Covello told Monsignor Wallin, who was nicknamed Monsignor Meth in news media reports.

But he told Monsignor Wallin that letters of support from friends and former parishioners surpassed “anything I have ever seen.”

The clergyman’s public defender, Kelly Barrett, said her client was coping with financially tough times at the parish at the start of the recession in 2008.

“He was floundering and overwhelmed,” she said. “The man who had given help to others was unable to accept help.”

An assistant United States attorney, Patrick Caruso, told the judge that Monsignor Wallin “abandoned his priestly life” and became a meth addict, associating with other meth users.

For ever flushing round a summer sky. -Castle of Indolence

I thought it was funny. As hypocritical as those involved with organized religions can be, I still didn't expect a priest to be a meth dealer, let alone one that helped supply a distributor

not surprising when you think about what a priest does for a living.

becoming a meth dealer is really a step up
