Dorchester minister charged with drug trafficking

Willie Wilkerson, 58, a minister at the Quincy Street Missional Church founded by his mother, Idene "Ma Siss" Wilkerson, is scheduled for arraignment in Roxbury Municipal Court today on drug-trafficking charges, the Suffolk County District Attorney's office reports.

Boston Police report finding 34 grams of crack cocaine, 11 grams of fentanyl, 50 Percocet pills, 87 Suboxone strips and 32 Clonopin pills at the 266 Quincy St. church and at Wilkerson's Baker Street home, along with $10,400 in cash.

Also located on the property were items recently reported stolen in a breaking and entering incident, as well as items belonging to an excavating company. The total value of these items was approximately $20,000.

Police say Wilkerson could face additional charges.

Wilkerson's mother helped turn a former auto chop shop into a church, food bank and thrift shop, with $70,000 she raised, in part by mortgaging a house she owned.

Innocent, etc.
