GRAND JUNCTION, Colo.—The Grand Junction City Council is meeting to find a replacement after a city councilman accused of domestic violence resigned.
The city announced Monday that Rick Brainard submitted his resignation last week. It took effect immediately and the council hopes to find a replacement on Tuesday.
Brainard was arrested in April for allegedly slapping his girlfriend and pushing her into a dresser several times.
In his resignation letter, Brainard said he is not a violent person and was ashamed that he let circumstances get away from him. He says he sought help from professionals and has reconnected with his girlfriend.
