MINEOLA, N.Y. – A New York priest whose sister was beheaded by her son in 2014 was arrested Wednesday on drug possession charges after he was caught with crack cocaine, police said.
Rev. Robert Lubrano pleaded not guilty to charges of criminal possession of a controlled substance after being arrested at a motel in Bethpage, Long Island, early Wednesday morning.
The 63-year-old Lubrano, who police say is a Roman Catholic priest but isn’t currently working at a church, was arrested after officers conducting a separate narcotics investigation saw him exchange cash with another man in the motel’s parking lot, police say.
