A pastor from Woodbury United Methodist Church in Connecticut has been arrested on charges of dealing crystal methamphetamine from the church's rectory, according to local authorities.
Reverend Herbert Miller, 63, was apprehended after a tip-off led police to set up a sting operation. The arrest bears a striking resemblance to the plot of the popular TV series "Breaking Bad," with Miller being described as a lookalike of the show's protagonist, Walter White.
The local news outlet Republican-American of Waterbury reported that Miller was caught in possession of crystal methamphetamine in both rock and liquid form, along with drug paraphernalia. The Connecticut State Police issued a press release confirming the arrest.
According to the same news outlet, Miller was allegedly exchanging methamphetamine for the opportunity to observe sexual activities involving gay couples. However, this claim has not been independently verified, and further comments from the state troopers are being sought. The duration of Miller's alleged involvement in drug dealing remains unknown.
Miller has been charged with possession of narcotics with intent to sell, possession of a controlled substance, and use of drug paraphernalia, among other charges. He was released on $10,000 bail and is scheduled to appear in Waterbury Superior Court on February 23.
Miller was hired by Woodbury United Methodist Church in July but has since been removed from the church's website. Prior to his appointment in Woodbury, he served as a pastor at First United Methodist Church in Shelton.
The shocking allegations against Reverend Herbert Miller have sent shockwaves through the local community, raising concerns about the safety and integrity of religious institutions.
