HUBER HEIGHTS, Ohio (AP) — A Roman Catholic priest has resigned amid an investigation into financial wrongdoing at his suburban Dayton church.
The Rev. Earl Simone, who pastored St. Peter Catholic Church in Huber Heights, had a letter distributed to parishioners last weekend saying he was retiring because of medical problems. The 69-year-old Simone also was the administrator of four other Catholic churches in Dayton.
The Dayton Daily News (http://bit.ly/1bwsGei ) reports that Simone has been on medical leave since March.
Huber Heights police spokesman Sgt. Charles Taylor says the agency is investigating allegations of what “may be a substantial” amount of missing money at St. Peter.
