HARTFORD — He was the man who would “hold down the fort” for the drug operation while “Monsignor Meth” was vacationing in London.
He was also a guy who worked in a sex and leather fetish shop.
And on Jan. 2, the day before the Bridgeport Diocese’s former Monsignor Kenneth Wallin was to leave on the two-week vacation, the suspended Roman Catholic priest took one of his best customers to the apartment across the hall and introduced him to Kenneth “Lyme” Devries.
Wallin even told the customer he was paying the rent on Devries’ apartment.
The customer, however, was an undercover cop, according to court documents and arrest affidavits. The next day, his friends would show up at both Wallin’s and Devries’ apartments on Waterbury’s Golden Hill Street not as unsavory customers, but arresting officers.
