Drug dealing Catholic Priest arrested by FBI
12:19 PM
A suspended Roman Catholic priest was arrested on federal drug charges this month for allegedly having methamphetamine mailed to him from co-conspirators in California and making more than $300,000 in drugs sales out of his apartment in Waterbury in the second half of last year.
Along the way, authorities said, he bought a small adult video and sex toy shop in the nearby town of North Haven named ‘Land of Oz & Dorothy’s Place,’ apparently to launder all the money he was making.
He has pleaded not guilty, and jury selection in his trial is scheduled to begin March 21.
Wallin, 61, was the pastor of St. Augustine Parish in Bridgeport for nine years until he resigned in June 2011, citing health and personal problems. He previously served six years as pastor of St. Peter’s Church in Danbury until 2002.
