'Brainwashed' mayor resigns
CENTERTON, Ark., Nov. 22 (UPI) -- An Arkansas mayor who says he was abducted and brainwashed by Satan worshipers has resigned from office.
Centerton Mayor Ken Williams announced Wednesday he would leave the post he was first elected to in 2001, KHBS-TV, Fort Smith, Ark., reported.
Williams said he was born Don LaRose and was working as a preacher in Indiana with a wife and two children when he was abducted and brainwashed by Satanists in the 1970s.
He said he fled to Arkansas after his family was threatened.
"I had no choice. The choice was to watch my family killed before my eyes or go with these people, and I chose instead to run," Williams said.
He said he became Ken Williams in 1980 and had forgotten about his previous life until five years of shock treatments and a recent injection of truth serum revived the memories.
He told the TV news he would remain with his current wife in Centerton, living under the name Ken Williams.
