The big news here in C-U is that one of the priests at the Newman Center was arrested on drug charges yesterday evening.
I checked the diocesan website and the Newman Center page for more information, but none has been posted yet. In the meantime. be sure to keep Fr. Layden and the staff and students at St. John's in your prayers.
UPDATE:
The Bloomington Pantagraph has a more substantial report, noting that the Diocese of Peoria released a statement from Bishop Daniel Jenky saying that Fr. Layden has been suspended. The report also notes that Fr. Layden pled not guilty at his arraignment today.
UPDATE 2:
HOI, Peoria's ABC affiliate, has a .pdf of the statement from the diocese.
