Kinky Illinois Priest Calls 911 To Help Get Him Out Of Handcuffs

Contrary to popular belief, Catholic priests don’t spend all their time railing against the LGBT community: Sometimes they get in over their head with kinky scenes and have to call 911.

In late November, Father Tom Donovan of St. Aloysius in Springfield, IL, called emergency workers to help him get out of handcuffs he had gotten himself stuck in:

The Illinois Times reports:

“I’m going to need help getting out before this becomes a medical emergency,” Father Tom Donovan told a dispatcher who sounds a bit incredulous during the Nov. 28 call. “You’re stuck in a pair of handcuffs?” the dispatcher asks. “[I was] playing with them and I need help getting out,” Donovan responds. Donovan told the dispatcher that he was alone in the rectory. It’s not clear exactly how he ended up in handcuffs or why he feared a medical emergency. His voice sounds garbled or muffled on the tape, and sources say that police discovered some sort of gag on the priest when they arrived.

Donovan was eventually freed from his self-induced captivity and was granted a leave of absence by Bishop Thomas Paprocki. If Paprocki’s name rings a bell, that’s because he just testified against Illinois’ proposed marriage-equality bill yesterday, saying it would undermine the “natural family” structure.

Right.
