A priest at a St. Louis County Catholic school was arrested Friday night after, police say, he was found hiding in the bushes outside a female co-worker’s home.

Officers spotted Michael McCusker, 36, hiding in the bushes, police said. Charging documents allege he ran from police, but was arrested.

Officers learned that McCusker is a priest and teacher at St. Louis Priory School in Creve Coeur, where he also lives. He goes by his religious name, the Rev. John McCusker, according to archived posts on the school’s website.
