At least this one, North Carolina Rep. David Almond had the decency to
resign almost as soon as word of his inappropriate behavior came out.

The North Carolina House Republicans are trying to keep his
transgression a secret, but they did force him to resign.

An insurance agent, Almond was serving his second term in the House.

Impeccable DWT sources tell me he exposed himself in front of a female
employee and chased her around the room yelling "Suck it, baby, suck
it."

It is unclear whether or not there was physical contact.

She filed a personnel complaint.

In a one-sentence letter to House Speaker Joe Hackney, the two-term
Republican lawmaker from Stanly County immediately resigned his seat
representing the 67th House District.

"A complaint has been filed against me with the Speaker. I intend to
defend myself against these charges in whatever forum may be
appropriate," Almond said in a written statement released by House GOP
leaders.

"In the meantime, I have concluded that it is in the best interest of
my family and the constituents of my district to resign from the
General Assembly."

Hackney said he received "a personnel complaint" involving Almond last
week, but said state and federal confidentiality laws bar him from
giving any details.

...Hackney, D-Orange, didn't meet with Almond personally, delegating
that job to House Republican leader Paul Stam, who announced Almond's
decision at a news conference Thursday but also declined to give
details.

"Sadness" was Stam's response to the complaint, which he said he first
heard about late Monday afternoon, and to Almond's resignation, Stam
said.

Stam, R-Wake, said Republican leaders asked Almond to resign "if the
allegations were true," but that Almond resigned on his own.

"He did it himself. The leaders of the caucus asked him to resign if
the allegations were true. We don't know the truth or not," Stam said.

In true Republican fashion Almond was the vice chairman of the House
committee on children, youth and families.
