(KAIR)--The treasurer for the Kickapoo Tribal Council has been removed.

According to a news release issued by Kickapoo Tribal Chair Lester Randall, Russell Bradley was ousted following a vote Friday by the Tribal Council.

In the release, Randall clarifies that the grounds for removal were stated as "a breach of fiduciary duty as the Tribe's Chief Financial Officer in failing to preserve and report the financials of the Tribe when requested by the Tribal Council and sexual harassment."

Specific details pertaining to the council's claims against Bradley aren't immediately specified.

In the release, Randall states that "tribal members demand accountability from their elected leaders," adding that "circumstances demanded the Tribal Council take action to restore the financial stability of the Kickapoo Tribe and its operations."

Bradley had held the postion for about 4 years.

Randall says a special election will be held to find a new treasurer.
