Priest jailed for stalking Conan O'Brien

A priest from Boston is in jail today for stalking and threatening Conan O'Brien. Father David Ajemian was arrested at Rockefeller Center when he attempted to attend a taping of Late Night with Conan O'Brien, according to today's New York Times. He's having a psychiatric examination and will be in court today.

NYC police say Father Ajemian sent threatening letters--some of them written on parish letterhead(!)--to O'Brien for the past year. He sent them to the studio, but also to Conan's home. Yikes.

The Times has a few excerpts, including this doozy, referring to a gangster who was once shot in the same building where Conan lives:

"Even if I did once look out on that dark and dreaded doorway on West 72 Street, remember Frank Costello once dodged a bullet in your building, and so can you."

So that explains all the references to the Masturbating Bear in his sermons.
