Minister indicted in obstruction scheme
Two Indian Head men, including a former all-conference quarterback for Georgetown University, have been indicted in connection with a criminal probe of a controversial Waldorf-based church that ministers to people with drug and alcohol addictions.
Minister Robert J. Freeman, who calls himself “Dr. Shine,” was indicted on charges of obstructing court proceedings, making false statements and falsifying records in bankruptcy proceedings. J.J. Mont, 32, a treasurer for the church, who still has numerous football passing records for the Hoyas, was indicted on obstruction charges.
Prosecutors said Freeman, 54, used Save the Seed Ministry money to pay for a $1.75 million residence on the Potomac River, a Bentley, Mercedes-Benz and two Lincoln Town Cars that he concealed from the bankruptcy court.

Hunter accused of shooting house
A Frederick man has been charged with negligent hunting for allegedly hitting a house with a shotgun slug while deer hunting.
Sgt. Art Windemuth, spokesman for the Maryland Natural Resources Police, said Raymond D. Weeks, 51, was firing at a deer running across a field on Saturday when one of his shotgun slugs hit a house on the 7900 block of Jackson Court in Frederick.
Weeks is also charged with violating Maryland’s safety-zone law, which prohibits people from hunting within 150 yards of an occupied structure without permission from the residents.
A shot also hit a house in Walkersville. Windemuth said the incidents were not related.
