CROSBY, Minn. – The embattled mayor of this north-central Minnesota community has resigned.

The Crosby City Council accepted Jim Hunter’s resignation Monday via a letter sent by Ed Shaw, Hunter’s lawyer, council member Ron Prushek confirmed late Monday night.

Hunter was elected in November 2016 for a two-year term and was arrested in March, charged with felony theft by swindle, assault and several other charges. Hunter had denied calls for him to step down prior to Monday’s meeting.

Prushek, who is also acting mayor, said the letter was dated Friday, Aug. 25, and Hunter was not present at Monday’s meeting.
