Mom Thrown Out Of Church After Being Accused Of Smuggling Weed Inside
An Oklahoma mom was kicked out of service for attempting to smuggle weed inside, but in all actuality, it was cilantro for her Menudo.
The unusual confrontation was caught on camera at Redemption United Methodist Church in Oklahoma City on Monday by Ashley, who was pressed by church members over her skeptical Mexican soup topping, with the TikTok video already up to 3.5million views.

“You have to leave now. You have to leave now,” one of the women repeatedly orders, ushering her out of the church.
“Y’all are people of God and you’re gonna do that to me?” Ashely protests.
“You’re gonna bring drugs in here?” the woman fires back.
“That’s cilantro! That’s for the food! That’s for the menudo!” Ashley insists. “That’s not weed! Smell it, I promise you!”
The church made an announcement sharing that the sermon was for prison inmates and household members; it contended the event was not about drugs at all, but that it had a policy against passing food to prisoners.

“Redemption Mission provides faith-based services for inmates through an arrangement with the Oklahoma Department of Corrections and has been hosting services since 1994,” it said. “Family members, visitors and guests are welcome to attend the services as well, but they are not allowed to give food items to the inmates to take back to correctional facilities.
“The video clip that is being circulated around social media of an incident that occurred at Redemption Mission Penn Avenue in Oklahoma City on November 14 is of a person who was upset because the staff did not allow her to give a bag of food to a family member who is an inmate attending the faith service.”
