St. Louis police issued a court summons accusing the Rev. Andrew Pinsent of peace disturbance for allegedly placing his hands on the shoulders of SNAP's Barb Dorris and taking fliers she had. Dorris had been distributing fliers in front of St. Ambrose to parishioners arriving for Mass, informing them of SNAP's concern about two priests who had served briefly there.

Pinsent is from England and is working on a doctorate degree at St. Louis University. He will be disciplined by the Rev. Richard Hanneke, the Archdiocese's Vicar of Priests, according to the spokesperson.
