He says he was performing God’s work. Police say he was performing a drug dealer’s work. The Providence Journal says a Rhode Island minister has been arrested for providing medical marijuana to his congregants after authorities found a shot gun and 180 pot plants stashed in his church.

Before his arrest, the minister had applied for a license to open a marijuana dispensary. The Journal says before the minister was ordained by the World Christianship Ministries, he worked in construction and real estate.
