RCMP ORDERED TO RETURN POT PROMOTERS' COMPUTER
HAMILTON -- A Superior Court judge has ordered the RCMP to return $3,000
and a computer seized from two pot-promoting men.
Walter Tucker, 67, and Michael Baldasaro, 50, who are members of the Church
of the Universe and prefer to be addressed as reverend brother, were
charged last May with drug trafficking after envelopes of marijuana were
mailed to federal Health Minister Allan Rock.
The Church of the Universe considers marijuana a sacrament.
The RCMP has 30 days in which to return the property.
Baldasaro said Wednesday that the money had nothing to do with the RCMP
investigation. "It was the savings of the Church of the Universe credit
union," he said.
