North Dakota Mayor Resigns After Accidental Lewd Video Incident
Minot, North Dakota Mayor Tom Ross resigned after an investigation revealed he mistakenly sent a sexually explicit video to City Attorney Stefanie Stalheim. The video, intended for his romantic partner, was sent following a call discussing a police officer’s suicide. An investigative report concluded Ross’s actions created a hostile work environment for Stalheim, who was his supervisor. The city council will appoint a new mayor within 15 days, unless a special election is petitioned for.
