A Fridley priest is on leave pending the outcome of a police investigation in Edina, the Archdiocese of St. Paul and Minneapolis said Friday.
According to a statement from the archdiocese, the Rev. Timothy Dolan, pastor at the Church of St. William in Fridley, is the subject of an investigation by the Edina Police Department.
Dolan has taken a “voluntary leave of absence” during the investigation, which was not detailed by the archdiocese.
The archdiocese said its Office of Ministerial Standards and Safe Environment is cooperating with Edina police. It said Dolan also was believed to be cooperating with investigators.
Accord to an Edina police spokeswoman, authorities began an investigation after receiving “a complaint Dec. 31 of suspicious activity involving Dolan, who maintains a residence in Edina.”
