BELLEVUE, Neb. (AP) — On the heels of being acquitted of a misdemeanor, Bellevue City Councilman Pat Shannon has become the subject of a recall effort to remove him from office.

A recall affidavit was filed Friday afternoon against Councilman Pat Shannon with the Sarpy County Election Commission.

If approved, Shannon will have 20 days to submit a defense statement before the petition is prepared. Recall organizer Christine Jurgens will then have 30 days to gather the nearly 6,600 signatures needed to call a special recall election.

On Thursday, Shannon was found not guilty of violating electrical license requirements for a building he owns. The City Council has given Shannon until later this month to submit plans to fix a broken-down car wash he owns in town.
