Mayor Shane Husted resigned Tuesday night, but gave no reason for his action.

Belding voters elect city council members, and the members then choose a mayor. Mayor Pro Tem Roger Willis will take over until the next election in November.

It's been an eventful year for Husted and his wife. In February, he lost his job as a loan officer at a bank. Then in May, the Ionia County prosecutor decided not to press charges against Mindy Husted in a dispute over the management of a shopping mall.
