Authorities in McDowell County, North Carolina, say former priest Bill Casey has posted $5,000 bond and been released from jail there.

MARION, NC (WVLT) -- Authorities in McDowell County, North Carolina, say former priest Bill Casey has posted $5,000 bond and been released from jail there.

Authorities tell Volunteer TV that Casey was transported from Greene County to the McDowell County Jail Tuesday morning.

Casey admitted last week to Knoxville Bishop Richard Stika that allegations that he molested a boy for several years while pastor of Saint Dominic's in Kingsport were true.

He was arrested late last week and charged with a first-degree sex offense for a 1977 incident that took place in Little Switzerland, North Carolina.

That charge was dropped Tuesday because it did not exist at the time. He is now charged with felony crime against nature.

There is no word yet on a court date for Casey. Stay with Volunteer TV and VolunteerTV.com for updates to this developing story.
