A self-proclaimed medicine man was arrested Thursday after lying to being an American Indian so he could consume and distribute peyote during religious ceremonies. James "Flaming Eagle" Mooney, 61, openly uses and distributes the hallucinogen during religious ceremonies, claiming to be a member of the Oklevueha Band of Yamassee Seminole Indians, which are allowed to consume peyote under federal law.
