RICHMOND HEIGHTS, Mo. (AP)  A priest at a St. Louis County Catholic school has
been charged with stalking after police say he was found hiding in the bushes
outside a female co-worker’s home.

The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports 36-year-old Michael McCusker was arrested Friday night after a woman reported a man looking through her windows in Richmond Heights. Officers learned that McCusker is a priest and teacher at St. Louis Priory School in Creve Coeur. He goes by his religious name, the Rev. John McCusker.

Besides the second-degree stalking charge, McCusker also was charged Monday
with resisting arrest. No attorney is listed for him in online court
records.

Abbot Gregory Mohrman, of St. Louis Abbey, said in a letter to the school
community that McCusker would be removed from his roles in the school and would
no longer live on campus.
