An ordained Monsey rabbi accused of selling marijuana has
been indicted on drug and weapons charges, officials said Thursday.
Shlomo Ettlinger, 37, of 61 Blauvelt Road has been charged
with felony counts of second-degree criminal possession of marijuana and
fourth-degree criminal possession of a controlled substance and a misdemeanor
count of fourth-degree criminal possession of a weapon, according to Rockland
County District Attorney Thomas Zugibe.
The charges were filed against Ettlinger after Ramapo police
searched his home on March 21, finding more than a pound of marijuana, 370
grams of hashish oil, an unregistered .357-caliber Smith & Wesson with
ammunition and $2,000.
Police at the time said the search came after several
neighbors reported suspicious behavior at the home to authorities, prompting a
two-month investigation. Five people beside Ettlinger were arrested as a result
of the investigation. They were charged with lesser crimes.
Ettlinger could not be reached for comment Thursday night.
