John Bishop, who for nearly two decades led Vancouver’s Living Hope Church, pleaded guilty to a federal drug charge Thursday for trying to smuggle more than 280 pounds of marijuana into the country from Mexico.

Bishop’s plea agreement was not available Thursday evening. However, Kelly Thornton, director of media relations with the United States Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of California, confirmed that Bishop pleaded guilty to unlawful importation of a controlled substance-marijuana, a felony.

He will be sentenced May 11 in U.S. District Court in Southern California. Bishop, 54, is facing a minimum sentence of five years and maximum of 40 years in prison, Thornton said.
