When I was a Eucharistic Minister in high school and college both times I did training we were told that we shouldn't be making judgement calls on whether or not the person that came up to us was eligible to receive communion. I do not know if the rules are different for priests, and I will concede that they might be.
Regardless, the above posters are correct, there were many opportunities for this situation to be avoided with dignity.
