A member of Huntington ’s City Council has resigned.
Pete Gillespie submitted his
resignation on Wednesday following his arrest last week on a charge of
violating a home confinement order.
He’d been on home confinement since
his August conviction on a misdemeanor domestic battery charge. He was arrested
after several guns were found in his home — in violation of the order — and was
being held in the Western Regional Jail.
Members of Huntington ’s City Council had requested his
resignation.
Applications are now being accepted
from potential replacements for Gillespie in Huntington ’s District Two.
