A former Tecumseh priest accused of stealing $180,000 from his parish has been committed to stand trial for theft.

Robert Couture, 50, pastor of St. Anne’s Church until 2010, is charged with theft over $5,000.

His preliminary hearing, which began last week and was scheduled to last 10 days into this week and a day later this month, ended early.

A publication ban prevents reporting on the evidence heard.

Couture at first said he wanted to be elected by a Superior Court judge sitting without a jury.  During his preliminary hearing, his lawyer indicated he had changed his mind and wants a jury trial after all.  No trial date has yet been set.

Couture remains free on bail.
