HARTFORD –The money just kept rolling in.
There was $50 for a hit; $60 for a quarter gram; $575 for an eight-ball (3.5 grams); $1,000 for 7 grams.
From August to December, Kevin Wallin, the Catholic priest dubbed “Monsignor Meth,” took in more than $300,000 selling crystal meth mostly from his Waterbury apartment, said Assistant U.S. Attorney Patrick Caruso.
So much for any vow of poverty Wallin, may have made.
On Tuesday, the 61-year-old Wallin who once advised two Bridgeport Diocese bishops, appeared in federal court before U.S. Magistrate Thomas P. Smith to plead not guilty to seven federal charges: participating in a conspiracy to distribute crystal meth and making six sales to an undercover police officer.
