GALESBURG —
A man criticized by the Catholic Diocese of Peoria for being a fake priest has been charged with seven felonies in Knox County.
The Knox County Sheriff’s Department will extradite the Rev. Ryan St. Anne from the St. Louis County jail early next week, said Sgt. Scott Cordle. According to an arrest warrant, he has been charged with three counts of financial exploitation of an elderly person, three counts of theft and one count of deceptive practices.
Cordle could not provide additional information about the alleged incident or charges.
The warrant was issued Feb. 29, although St. Anne was arrested Tuesday in East St. Louis, said Cordle. He signed a waiver of extradition Wednesday.
