Sentencing for former Vancouver pastor John Bishop was postponed for the sixth time Tuesday in his federal marijuana smuggling case.
Bishop, 55, was set to be sentenced Wednesday in U.S. District Court in San Diego. However, the date was changed to Nov. 20.
He pleaded guilty in February to attempting to smuggle nearly 300 pounds of marijuana into the United States from Mexico and was poised to go forward with sentencing in September. The sentencing was rescheduled, however, in order to give him time to provide another interview to authorities.
The story of how the pastor of Vancouver’s Living Hope Church ended up in federal custody was detailed in a series of Columbian stories published in September.
