Husband of Oklahoma Mayor 'Meant no Harm' With KKK Costume

An Oklahoma mayor told NBC News Monday that her husband "meant no harm" when he and a few friends dressed up as Ku Klux Klan members on Halloween and placed a cross beside a fire.

A photo of the men was posted online, where it quickly triggered intense criticism and cries of bigotry. The image, which was taken by someone who called the police, Garfield County Sheriff Jerry Niles told NBC News, shows two men clad in white hoods standing beside a cross.

Lahoma Mayor Theresa Sharp, 47, said the outcry has also included calls for her resignation.

"I have no intention of doing so," she said, adding that her husband, Cary Sharp, 47, had simply made "some very bad choices."

"It's four good ol' boys sitting around drinking and things got out of control," she said.

lot of trouble. Got arrested once. Got into a big ol' fight on any number of occasions. Argued. Yelled. Sang bawdy songs together and occasionally made total asses of ourselves. (That was when things "got out of control.&quot

But we never once thought to throw a sheet over our heads and burn something to see how that might enhance our high.

Guess I hang out with a better class of reprobates than does the Mayor of Lahoma, Oklahoma.
