Dr Raymoth Notice, the mayor of Spanish Town in Jamaica has resigned after meeting with senior officers of his Jamaica Labour Party (JLP) and councilors of the St Catherine Parish Council, which he chairs.
But Notice, a medical doctor, will remain as councilor of the Bog Walk Division.
The resignation of the mayor came just a day after he was arrested and charged by the Bog Walk Police on five counts of assault. His wife reported she was beaten by him.
However, Mrs Notice told the court that she was withdrawing the charges if her husband agreed to seek counselling.
The JLP said Wednesday; it would not take any action against the embattled mayor since the charges were withdrawn.
