Alabama- A city councilperson for the town of Russellville was arrested on domestic violence harassment charges.  The incident stemmed from the man entering his ex-girlfriend’s home and taking items he claims were his because he bought them.

Upon seeing him leave her residence, the ex-girlfriend called the council member on his cell phone and the two met in a parking lot and began arguing.  Their arguing caught the attention of residents in the surrounding neighborhood who called the police.

According to police there was no physical struggle, only verbal abuse.  This is not the first time the councilperson faces charges for domestic violence.  He was arrested and charged with third degree domestic violence in an incident involving his former wife.
