ANTIGONISH, N.S. – A Roman Catholic priest will return to full-time duties this fall after police dropped an investigation into his conduct as director of a drug rehabilitation centre in Cape Breton.

Rev. Paul Abbass will resume his work in five parishes in the Diocese of Antigonish beginning Oct. 5.

Abbass was suspended from his duties in the diocese after someone from Talbot House complained to police in February.

But investigators said in April they found no evidence that would justify continuing their investigation.
