LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — A former Lincoln priest has been ticketed by police on suspicion of giving alcohol to a minor.

57-year-old Charles Townsend was cited last week. Police believe he gave alcohol to a 19-year-old at a Lincoln home in July 2017 while Townsend was still a priest, and later drove the intoxicated teen home. Townsend was later removed as a priest.

Townsend was formerly a priest at St. Peter’s Catholic Church in south Lincoln.

A message left Saturday at a phone listing for Townsend in Lincoln was not immediately returned.
