Nashville Mayor Megan Barry resigned yesterday, March 6, after pleading guilty to felony theft of property exceeding $10,000.

Barry misappropriated city funds over the course of two years to bankroll an affair with the head of her security detail.

As part of a plea deal, Barry agreed to reimburse the city $11,000 and serve three years of unsupervised probation.

Vice Mayor David Briley was sworn in as mayor immediately following her resignation.
