DETROIT [[WXYZ) - The former head of the Detroit School Board has been charged with a felony count of misconduct in office and a 90 day misdemeanor count of disorderly person-obscene conduct.

The charges against Otis Mathis are related to allegations by General Superintendent Theresa Gueyser. She has accused Mathis of touching and fondling himself while to two were conducting a meeting.

The allegations led to Mathis resigning from the school board earlier this month. However, he tried to retract his resignation and apologize for his conduct the day after turning in his resignation.

A spokesperson for the Wayne County Prosecutor's office say arrangements will be made for Mathis to turn himself in.
