A Catholic priest appeared today in Clark County Superior Court on suspicion of luring a 14-year-old girl as she was walking home from school through Vancouver’s Image neighborhood.
Michael T. Patrick, 57, of Vancouver was arrested April 2 at Los Angeles International Airport when he re-entered the United States after a trip to Australia. He was then extradited to Clark County.
Judge Robert Lewis released Patrick today and ordered him to check into Clark County Jail’s supervised release program.
Patrick is scheduled to be arraigned May 6 on one charge of felony luring.
He is the pastor of the St. Wenceslaus Parish in Scappoose, Ore., but keeps a residence in Vancouver.
His home is in the Image neighborhood, according to Clark County property records.
