Pastor Faces Felony Charges For Dealing Drugs, Money Laundering

A Skagit County, Washington pastor is in hot water after being arrested with nearly three pounds of methamphetamine, fentanyl, and cocaine. Steve Parker, 57, who admitted "he leads a double life," bragged that he was a good drug dealer. That's a strange flex.

His double life.

Parker led a business helping people that suffer from addiction get housing and jobs while simultaneously living as a high-level drug trafficker dealing Fentanyl, cocaine, heroin, and meth.

HeraldNet reports:

Online, Parker lists himself as an officer of both Nest Ministries and Omni-Mana Services, according to the charges filed on Jan. 20. State filings show "Rev Steve Parker" is the head of Omni-Mana. Nest Ministries is inactive.

"Omni Mana helps people who have had substance abuse or mental health issues find employment," an online resource to connect people with medical help reports. "Helps those with felonies as well."

Both nonprofits are reportedly run out of a building on Olympic Avenue in downtown Arlington. Calls to Nest Ministries and Omni Manna Services on Monday were not answered.

He even has two homes. He's a real piece of work.

Skagit County drug squad detectives learned Parker has two homes, one on Highway 530 between Arlington and Darrington and another in Tulalip. Sources told them he dealt drugs in Snohomish, Skagit, and Whatcom counties.
