Apparently, everybody comes to Detroit to misbehave. Even elected officials two states away. 

The Detroit News reports a Pittsburgh-area official and her husband were charged with disorderly conduct, resisting and disturbing the peace after what sounds like a partying situation gone awry. Given that the hour was after midnight, who knows.

Anyway, here's what happened to Allegheny County Controller Chelsa Wagner and her husband, Khari Mosley, at the Westin Book Cadillac on March 6, according to a news release from Wayne County Prosecutor Kym Worthy's office:

"Police were called to the hotel to investigate a disturbance that was created by Mr. Mosley at the reception desk, in the elevator area, and the entry way of the hotel," the release said. "He was irate that hotel personnel would not allow him up to the room which was registered only in his wife’s name, when he did not have a room key."

The manager called the room and no one answered. Police were called, went to the room, and were able to rouse Wagner, who confirmed their relationship. But then:

"While the police were leaving, but still in the hallway, they heard a loud noise and shouting inside the room," the release said. "This caused them to return to the room to investigate."

"When an officer tried to remove Mr. Mosley, Ms. Wagner prevented the officer from taking action," the release said. "It is alleged that she put her arm on him, and when he moved her arm to get into the room, she pushed his hand away.

"Mr. Mosley was placed in handcuffs, and as the officers and hotel security walked him to the elevator, it is alleged that Ms. Wagner blocked the elevator door. The officer with Mr. Mosley asked Ms. Wagner to move several times and she continued to block the elevator door.

In other words, a garden-variety domestic situation, and a nonviolent one at that. Kinda wondering why the awesome powers of the county prosecutor are being summoned here, but there you are.
