Priest Accused of Stalking Conan O'Brien, Sending Him Letters

NEW YORK (AP) -- A Boston priest has been arrested in New York on charges of stalking late-night talk show host Conan O'Brien.

Police say David Ajemian was arrested at 30 Rockefeller Plaza last week while trying to enter a taping session of NBC's "Late Night with Conan O'Brien.''

They say the priest had been sending O'Brien e-mails and letters since September 2006 and now faces charges of aggravated harassment and stalking.

The Archdiocese of Boston says the priest has been placed on leave and is no longer allowed to minister publicly. An NBC spokesman says O'Brien is not commenting on the incident.

The priest is being held. A telephone message left at a youth mission listed as his home hasn't been returned.
