	Chanhassen Priest, Cited for Lewd Act, Resigns Star Tribune November 6, 2010 http://www.startribune.com/local/106804493.html?elr=KArks:DCiUHc3E7_V_nDaycUiD3aPc:_Yyc:aUoD3aPc:_2yc:a_ncyD_MDCiU A priest has resigned as pastor of a Chanhassen church after being cited for lewd conduct Thursday in a St. Paul park. The Rev. Michael J. Krenik, known as Father Mike to parishioners of St. Hubert Catholic Community, exposed himself to an undercover officer in a park area near Eustis Street and N. Mississippi River Boulevard, police said. The incident occurred about 1:20 p.m. in an area where citizens have complained about lewd public behavior, said Inspector John Keating, a police spokesman. Krenik, 53, was taken into custody, cited for "indecent exposure - lewd conduct" and released, according to a police incident report documenting his arrest. On Friday, the Archdiocese of St. Paul and Minneapolis said in a written statement that Krenik had "voluntarily resigned" as pastor and that he would be restricted from all public ministry until the case was resolved.
