HARFORD COUNTY, Md. — A newly elected Harford County Councilman now faces legal action over trying to keep his seat on the council.
According to online court records, Harford County Executive Bob Cassilly filed a complaint last week against Jacob Bennett.

Bennett won the seat in District F while also being a public school teacher.
Cassilly says Bennett violated the Harford County Charter which states that anyone with a county or state job is not qualified to hold a council position.
Bennett says he had already addressed this with legal counsel before he ran for office.
There will be another County Council meeting Tuesday night.
