Fort Meade's Vice Mayor, Maurice Nelson Campbell, 59, was charged after an investigation opened into a complaint of numerous alleged harassing phone calls.

PCSO reported in a news release that the victim told detectives that she and the vice mayor had known each other for years, and said Campbell had repeatedly accused her of having an intimate relationship with Campbell's husband.

According to the arrest affidavit, the victim had contacted law enforcement about Campbell in the past, but refrained from pursuing criminal charges after Campbell would stop the harassing communication.
