Landlord speaks on Manhattan Mayor, calls for resignation

MANHATTAN (KSNT) - A local landlord is calling out the Mayor of Manhattan, accusing her of laying hands on his wife during a tenant dispute.

Roger Seymour is part of an LLC which owns several rental properties in the area. Last month, while he and his wife were conducting a move out inspection at one of their Manhattan properties, he says Mayor Susan Adamchak tried to wrestle some personal documents out of his wife's hands, physically attacking her.

Earlier this week he addressed the Manhattan City Commission, calling for Mayor Adamchak's resignation.

"It shows we have a great disregard for law, and for personal property rights, and for respect of other individuals," Seymour said. "She's a leader. And as a leader, she failed." 

Riley County Police confirm they responded to the call, but the mayor had left the scene by the time officers arrived. '

It's unclear why Mayor Adamchak was at the property. 27 News has reached out to the mayor for comment, but she declined.
