Former Florence City Manager Michael Patterson has posted a $25,000 cash bond to get out of the Fremont County Jail.
Patterson is accused of sending sexual videos of himself to female employees, buying alcohol for a female city staff member under the age of 21, and repeatedly coercing female subordinates for sex at city hall. He is facing charges of stalking, unlawful sexual contact, and providing alcohol to a minor.
Patterson was arrested at the Denver International Airport on November 15th.
Patterson was fired without explanation in late August by the Florence City Council.
Patterson is scheduled to be back in court tomorrow.
