The Roman Catholic priest who has been accused of stalking and harassing the talk-show host Conan O’Brien was admitted to a hospital for evaluation on Saturday.

Reverend David Ajemian suddenly disappeared from his father home in the Back Bay on Saturday where he returned after being released on bail into his family custody on Friday. His father called the police around 3:15 reporting his son has been missing for about three hours as police officer Ed Crispin reported. Police were told in a statement that the priest “mental health may be of concern”

Luckily Ajemian returned to his parents’ home around 7 p.m. after he went to a hospital, the police reported.

The whole story started when Ajemian was arrested in New York City because he had tried for several times to get in touch with the host of “Late Night with Conan O’ Brien” in spite of the warning of NBC’s security officers, prosecutors told on Wednesday.

He started sending to the host threatening emails, postcards and aggressive letters in September 2006. According to statements of police he was asked several times to stop contacting O’Brien but he didn’t. In conclusion, a warrant for his arrest was issued by the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office, officials said. He was facing charges of stalking and persistently harassment.

He was found fit for trial by a Manhattan judge on Friday although attorney Eric Seiff told the judge that the priest was on medication for psychological problems for almost a year.

Ajemian told the New York Daily News reporters that his notes to Obrien were harmless: “I’ve tried to make it clear that I had no intention of physically harming him in any way. I feel sad that some of my correspondences were interpreted that way.”

He also declared that he wanted to meet Faye Dunaway and Paul Simon. Talking about Simon he told the reporters: “I really loved his music.” Regarding Faye Dunaway he stated that they met in mid 1990 when they were studding Catholicism at St. Paul's Parish in Cambridge, Mass. "I wrote her agent. I never heard anything back," he told reporters.

As a result of his arrest, Ajemian was placed on leave by the Boston Archdiocese and “he is no longer able to exercise public ministry,” the archdiocese said in a statement adding that the church officials were cooperating with New York City authorities.
