Living God arrested on drugs and firearms charges

Washington County Drug Task Force has arrested comedy black magician E A [living god] Koetting on a variety of drug-related charges after stopping his car in the Bloomington area.  Capt. Kyle Whitehead of the task force said Koetting was charged under his real name of Matthew Joseph Lawrence, 33, and was charged with five third-degree felony counts for possession of drugs, one third-degree felony counts of being restricted possessors of a firearm, and one misdemeanour count each for possession of drugs and drug paraphernalia. They were released from the appropriately named Purgatory Correctional Facility on bail. Whitehead said their arrest occurred a week after the task force received a tip from a confidential informant. After conducting the traffic stop, investigators searched the roommates' residence in the 500 West block of Los Alamitos Drive. The search uncovered cocaine, methamphetamine, marijuana, and other drugs, along with a gun, Whitehead said.
