Donald Marceau McLeod was the Mayor of Severance, Colorado. He resigned after an anonymous tip was called in reporting that a child was dragged into a white van and may have been taken hostage. The van was owned by McLeod. The child was someone he met on Grindr who initially said he was 19, but he confessed he was just 17, a minor. He was arrested and charged with patronizing a prostituted child. He pleaded guilty to promoting obscenity to a child and got three years probation and must register as a sex offender.
