South Windsor (WTNH) -- A man who legally changed his name to Almighty Allah is facing a narcotics charge in South Windsor.
According to police, members of the East Central Narcotics Task Force were tipped off to a drug transaction in the town.
Police found the suspect and his car on John Fitch Blvd. The driver didn't stop right away when police tried to pull him over, but he eventually was stopped and arrested.
He was identified as Almighty Supremebeing Allah, age 35, who lives on Elmhurst St. in West Hartford.
"The arrestee in the narcotics case had apparently legally changed his name to 'Almighty Allah', and has convictions under this new name," Scott Custer from the South Windsor police department said.
Allah was held on $260,000.00 bond on charges including cocaine possession, attempt to sell cocaine, and traffic charges.
He was expected to be in Manchester Superior Court.
Obviously, changing your name to that of a God isn't going to impress the police enough to cut you any slack. And in the more deeply Islamic areas of the world, I imagine that the name alone on a passport might be enough to bring charges of blasphemy.
I guess too many idiots have used up "Jesus Christ" and "Buddha" just doesn't have the same panache as the other Gods (maybe because there's no retribution with Buddha).
