Grant Mayor-elect Larry Walker has been charged with harassment after a woman claimed he inappropriately touched her.
Marshall County Sheriff's Department spokesman Heath Thomas said Wednesday that Walker turned himself in to authorities Tuesday after learning the woman had filed a complaint against him.
Walker was released on a $500 bond. He received 73% of the votes in a three-way race Aug. 26 to win the mayor's office. He and other newly elected municipal officials are to take office Nov. 3.
A message left for Thomas wasn't immediately returned Thursday, and Walker didn't know if he had a lawyer.
