A Boston-area priest has been arrested on charges of stalking late-night talk show host Conan O’Brien. The man of the cloth has been writing Conan threatening notes on parish letterhead, contacting his parents and showing up at his studio since September 2006.

The Rev. David Ajemian, a priest in the Archdiocese of Boston, was arrested last week while trying to enter a taping session of NBC’s “Late Night with Conan O’Brien” Rockefeller Plaza in NYC.

The Rev. referred to himself as “your priest stalker” in one note and complained of not being allowed in to see an earlier taping of the show.

“Is this the way you treat your most dangerous fans?”

“I want a public confession before I ever consider giving you absolution — or a spot on your couch,” wrote Ajemian, who signed the notes “Padre,” Thompson said.

The Boston Archdiocese has placed Ajemian on leave and he is no longer allowed to minister publicly.
