View Date:2024-12-23 19:40:58
A Connecticut pastor was arrested after police said he was selling methamphetamines from his house and at the church.
Connecticut State Police arrested Herbert Irving Miller, 63, on Feb. 9 after police noticed that he was operating his vehicle with a suspended registration and failed to maintain the insurance requirements.
During the police investigation, Miller was in possession of crystal methamphetamines in both rock form and liquefied into a hypodermic needle prepared for injection.

Miller was then charged with operating an unregistered vehicle, operating a vehicle without the minimum insurance, use of drug paraphernalia, possession with intent to sell or dispense narcotics and possession of a controlled substance, the police report said.
He was released on a $10,000 bond.
Miller was the pastor of the First United Methodist Church in Shelton, 48 miles southwest of Hartford, before becoming the pastor of Woodbury United Methodist Church in July 2023, the Connecticut Post reports.
CT police receive a tip about the pastor
The Woodbury Police Department received a tip that Miller was allegedly dealing drugs from his house right next to the church, WFSB reported.
Miller's neighbors saw a lot of traffic at the home and someone saw a meth pipe on the road near the church.
Police told WFSB that investigators believe Miller was providing the meth and in exchange he wanted to see couples have sex.
Miller's court date is on Feb. 23 at Waterbury Superior Court.
