POLICE have issued an update saying a councillor remains on bail following an 'incident' at a meeting of a town council.
We previously reported Emma Nishigaki was arrested on suspicion of a Section 4 Public Order offence and Harassment following the alleged incident at Evesham Town Hall.
A spokesperson for West Mercia Police said last week: "A 54-year-old woman has been arrested on suspicion of Section 4 Public Order offence and Harassment.
At the time no further details of the investigation were shared.
Today police issued a further statement (September 25), confirming the 54-year-old woman is on bail.
Following the arrest Cllr Nishigaki said in her statement: "I can confirm that I was arrested and released without charge.
"It is part of a bigger campaign of harassment and bullying against me, which is now also under police investigation.
"I was elected overwhelmingly by the public. I will still be resilient and dedicated to residents on my Avon Ward and help improve life in the town."
