Illinois Campus Priest Accused of Dealing Cocaine From Rectory

A Catholic priest on the University of Illinois campus has been charged with selling cocaine from his church office and rectory.

The Reverend Christopher Layden pleaded not guilty Thursday to two counts of delivery of less than 1 gram of cocaine within 1,000 feet of a church and one count of possession with intent to deliver 1 to 15 grams of cocaine near a church.

The 33-year-old was arrested Wednesday at St. John's Catholic Newman Center after investigators found 3 grams of cocaine and drug paraphernalia while searching his home and office. His bond was set at $50,000.

The Catholic Diocese of Peoria says it has suspended Layden.

His attorney, Mark D. Lipton, did not immediately respond to an after hours message seeking comment.

  37. 37

    Ugh, drugs should be legal and the church should not care, one of the Popes from way back in the day used to drink Cocaine wine



  38. 38

    I know Father Chris very well and he is an excellent man. Please don't pass judgment until we hear the whole story. This is not in his character.



  39. 39

    Unfortunately most ministers who are criminals are thought of as good people.
    Ask any one of the parents of the sexually abused children and they would say he was a "good man" and this is "out of character".

    It's sad.

    Re: Andy27
    Andy, join me with the priest. One of my best friends was a gay priest until I threw him under the bus with my Rev. Wright.
    I am obama hussain barracki
    and I approved this message.
    call me!

    I have known chris since he was in preschool. Needless to say me, my family, and friends who also know him are "blown" away by these allegations. He studied in Rome and new Pope John Paul personally. He is a wonderful person, who obviously got caught up in the world of cocaine. Many people have done it. Being in his position, a Priest, we hold him above others , but priest are only human and as such, are not without sin or temptation. I am standing behind him and praying for him. I know his family well and they are very great people. I hope he gets the help he needs!! I will be praying for him. He is a great kid.



  43. 43

    That is classic!!!! I'm totally going back to church this Sunday to see Father BLOW !!!!!!!!!!!



  44. 44

    I was the organist for two years at the church where this priest was. This was so shocking and unexpected. And to think that he was signing my checks…



  45. 45

    normally, i don't go to church, but why didn't someone tell me about this shit before?!? i would've been all up in that church! SHYITT!!



  46. 46

    But was the cocaine blessed? I mean, that totally changes everything don't it? Did he buttrape little boys and give them nose candy? Catholics…
