A bond hearing in Dane County court took several bizarre turns Thursday when a founder of a Madison Rastafari church claimed he could not understand court officials.
Jesse Schworck, 39, made his initial appearance Thursday morning for drug charges after police served a search warrant at Lion of Judah House of Rastafari
“I require a translator,” Schworck said. “I only understand the language of my private society, the Rastafari society.”
After a brief back and forth over Schworck’s ability to understand Circuit Court Commissioner Mario White, Schworck was told to wait until after the other cases on the docket to be heard.
Schworck was called to the stand again approximately an hour later. Prosecutor Frank Remington read aloud the eight charges the founder faces after police allege they purchased marijuana multiple times from Schworck and fellow founder Dylan Bangert.
