A 70-year-old minister was arrested after police found him at his church with 16 rocks of crack cocaine and a pipe to smoke them, authorities said.
Acting on a tip that a minister at Living Word Fellowship was using cocaine, an officer approached the minister in the church parking lot Sunday morning and struck up a conversation about drug dealing in the area, police spokeswoman Lisa Parashis said.
During the course of the conversation, the minister made a point of saying he didn't use drugs and consented to a search. The officer pulled a plastic bag containing the crack out of the minister's front shirt pocket, Parashis said. A crack pipe was found in his pants pocket.
HHe advised that it wasn't his but he did purchase it, and he was not willing to give up a supplier's name," Parashis said.
The minister was charged with possession of cocaine, possession of a controlled substance within 1,000 feet of a church and possession of drug paraphernalia.
He is being held on $17,500 bail, according to jail records, which said he did not yet have an attorney.
