State police have cited Taylor Mayor Richard Bowen for harassment stemming from an alleged domestic dispute with his girlfriend in November.
The citation, sent last week, accuses Mr. Bowen, 62, of hitting his girlfriend, Mary Burke, 54, in the face during an argument.
The incident took place on Interstate 81 south near mile marker 186 in Dunmore. The citation did not specify if the couple was in a vehicle at the time or, if so, who was driving.
The citation charges Mr. Bowen with one count of summary harassment for the Nov. 11 incident, which occurred at about midnight.
Efforts to reach state police spokeswoman Trooper Connie Devens were not successful on Monday.
A call to Mr. Bowen went unanswered, and a message seeking comment was not returned.
