This past week the mayor of Centerton Arkansas resigned and claimed his reason why he was resigning was due to the fact that he is not who he has claimed to have been for many years. Centerton’s Mayor Ken Williams now claims his real name is Don LaRose and his claim is that he was taken and brainwashed in the mid 1970’s from Indiana where he was a preacher and resided with his wife and two children. This brainwashing took place by a satanic group and after this he was given a choice to remain with this group or he would be placing his wife and two children in danger from this satanic group.

Williams or LaRose now says that he took on the identity of Ken Williams who was a person that was killed in an accident in 1958 as a way to protect his family; this accident victim’s full name was Bruce Kent Williams.

He went on to say that he felt he had no choice it was either run and use a new identity or watch his wife and two children killed by the satanic group. This decision whether it was wrong or right he felt at the time it was the only choice he had and it has taken five years of treatment including multiple shock treatments to get his memory back according to the former mayor.

Williams began running a website about the disappearance of Rev. Don LaRose, during this time that Williams was running the LaRose website the family of Don LaRose contacted him seeking more information about the website owner.

He has stated that his current wife is standing by him through this situation and he has also signed his resignation from mayor with Ken Williams and also Don LaRose but wants to continue using the name Ken Williams and live in Centerton.
