Long Island priest arrested on drug charges, says sister's murder prompted crack cocaine use | abc7ny.com

 A Roman Catholic priest from Long Island is facing drug charges after police said they caught him in what appeared to be a drug deal at a motel in Nassau County early Wednesday morning.

Nassau County police said detectives were on an unrelated narcotics investigation at the Bethpage Motel on Hempstead Turnpike, when they saw two men exchanging money in the parking lot. One was in a car, the other staying at the hotel.

After the exchange, officers saw the driver of the car pull away - but they said he didn't use a turn signal when pulling out of the lot, so they pulled him over.
