Monsignor Kevin Wallin, a Catholic priest, was arrested in a bust in Connecticut. He allegedly dealt crystal meth, but wasn’t officially relieved of his duties until church officials found out he was a cross-dresser who liked to have sex in the rectory of St.Augustine Cathedral in Bridgeport, CT. CT Post reports:
Now dubbed “Msgr. Meth” by some, Wallin seemed to live a life that easily could have been ripped from the script of “Breaking Bad,” the popular AMC series about a high school chemistry teacher turned crystal methamphetamine producer. At one point, Wallin was selling upwards of $9,000 of meth a week, according to his indictment.
In his post-priesthood, Wallin, 61, bought an adult specialty and video store in North Haven called Land of Oz that sells sex toys and X-rated DVDs. Investigators believe the shop helped him launder thousands of dollars in weekly profits.
