Glasgow councillor arrested in text message probe
Gilbert Davidson, who represents Glasgow's North East ward, was charged by police after a complaint was made by former Lord Provost Liz Cameron.
He has since been suspended from the ruling Labour group.
A police spokeswoman said: "We can confirm that a 67-year-old man has been arrested and charged with an alleged breach of the peace in connection with a police inquiry being carried out at Glasgow City Chambers and a report will be submitted to the procurator fiscal."

Hide AdLabour said Mr Davidson had been suspended with immediate effect.
A spokesman said: "As a police investigation is now ongoing, it would be inappropriate to comment further."
The alleged offence reportedly took place after Mr Davidson and Ms Cameron campaigned together during a by-election in the Drumchapel area last year.
