OGDEN, Kan. (AP) -- Ogden voters have decided overwhelmingly to oust controversial mayor Jimmy Bond.

By a vote of 194-86 on Tuesday, residents chose to remove Bond from office.

The special election was held after residents accused Bond of violating several city ordinances and the Kansas Open Meetings Act

Bond also acknowledged in January that he served more than 10 years in the Illinois and Ohio prisons in the 1970s and 1980s, and had not disclosed that information before he was elected last April.

Voter turnout Tuesday was just above 30 percent of eligible voters.

After the vote, Bond said he hoped that some things he tried to bring to Ogden would eventually come to fruition.
