SPRINGFIELD -- An area priest is taking a leave of absence after a bizarre call for help. Police rescued Father Thomas Donovan in November after he locked himself in a pair of handcuffs.

He was found inside St. Aloysius Church where he serves. Police say Donovan was alone and fully clothed when they arrived. No one was arrested and church leaders say nothing inappropriate happened.
