Mayville, NY (WBEN) - The Chautauqua County District Attorney says there was nothing criminal in nature after an investigation into a heated discussion between Bishop Edward Kmiec and a church member in Dunkirk.

William Parks claimed Bishop Kmiec thumped him on the chest during a heated conversation. District Attorney David Foley says five witnesses were interviewed, only one said there may have been contact between the two.

The Catholic Diocese released a statemetn saying the investigation shows what the bishop has maintained all along, and put it behind them.
