(Mineral Wells, Tx) – Tuesday night, the Mineral Wells City Council voted 6-0 to issue a reprimand to Mayor Christopher Perricone after an independent investigator found three of 13 identified complaints against the mayor violated the city’s charter.

The Mineral Wells Index reports the council’s action brings an end to complaints filed by City Clerk Peggy Clifton alleging the mayor violated the city charter in his actions and dealings with city department heads, managers and subordinates.  The investigation conducted by Arlington attorney James T. Jeffrey Jr. found in 10 of the complaints, the charges were not sustained by facts and he exonerated Mayor Perricone of wrongdoing in one of the charges.

Perricone recused himself from voting and participating in the discussion.
