HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) — A Connecticut priest convicted of selling methamphetamine is facing the possibility of being sent back to prison after failing his drug tests.
The Hartford Courant reports a federal judge will decide the fate of Kevin Wallin, a former pastor at St. Augustine Parish in Bridgeport, on Thursday.
Wallin, dubbed “Monsignor Meth” in some media reports, had been convicted of conspiracy to distribute a controlled substance and sentenced to 65 months in prison.
He was released in 2016 but failed a number of required drug tests, prompting his parole officer to seek to revoke his parole. Thursday’s hearing will determine if Wallin should be sent back to prison.
