The hearing for a Dearborn priest charged with indecent exposure and drunken driving has been moved to a later date, the 19th District Court confirmed Tuesday.

The Rev. Peter Petroske, who has been suspended as the head priest of the Sacred Heart Catholic Church in Dearborn, will be arraigned at the district court on Sept. 13, at which time his preliminary examination will also take place.

The court date was originally set for Aug. 14.

Petroske, 57, was arrested the evening of Aug. 2 after Dearborn police received a call that a man was driving his car around naked in the area of Garrison and Haigh streets in west downtown Dearborn.
