A Boston catholic priest, who made headlines last year when he was arrested and charged with stalking the "Late Night with Conan O'Brien" host, pleaded disorderly conduct and agreed to an order to stay away from the comedian's home and office for two years.
    
Rev. David Ajemian, 46, who was arrested in New York in November last year, admitted on Tuesday that he sent numerous letters and DVDs to O'Brien's home and workplace, and apologized in a Manhattan courtroom claiming he never meant to upset anyone.
 
"I regret my behavior that caused concern of the people that I was trying to contact," Ajemian, who attended Harvard University at the same time as O'Brien, told reporters, refusing to give any reasons for his behavior.

By entering a guilty plea, Ajemian managed to avoid trial while prosecutors withdrew charges of aggravated harassment and stalking, misdemeanors that are punishable by up to 90 days in jail.

Ajemian, who was a priest at St. Patrick's Parish in Stoneham from 2005 to May 2007, started harassing O'Brien with aggressive letters, e-mails, postcards and packages in September 2006 until he was arrested during a taping of NBC's show at New York's Rockefeller Plaza.

In one note to O’Brien, in which he refers to himself as "your priest stalker," Ajemian complained of being forbid to attend an earlier taping of O’Brien’s show.

"I’m told by some of those officious little usher people that you’re overbooked. Is this the way you treat your most dangerous fans? You owe me big-time pal. I want a public confession before I ever consider giving you absolution—or [I want] a spot on your couch," the note said.
