HOULTON, Maine — Houlton was left without a governing body on Friday when most of the Town Council resigned after placing the town manager on leave in the aftermath of his September felony arrest.

Immediately following the unanimous vote to place Cameron Clark on leave, Council Chairperson Jane Torres and Councilors Jim Peters and Erin Matthews resigned.

Town Manager Cameron Clark, who is on daily Department of Corrections supervision and must abide by an overnight curfew, will be on administrative leave until his criminal case is resolved. He was charged with tampering with a victim, which is a Class B felony punishable by up to 10 years in prison and a $20,000 fine, and domestic violence assault charge, which is a Class D misdemeanor.
