GARFIELD COUNTY, Oklahoma - A disturbing picture surfaced on social media of what appears to be inspired by the Ku Klux Klan.

The Garfield County sheriff said it was part of a "Halloween prank" in the town of Lahoma.

What was almost as shocking as the picture itself was who deputies said was under the white hood.

It was Cary Sharp wearing the white robe and hat last night.

He is married to the Lahoma mayor Theresa Sharp.

She was adamant she was nowhere near this party, away trick-or-treating with other family members.

But there were a lot of people upset about what her husband did.
........................

It was a bonfire and the photo shows torches and a cross but Cary Sharp and his friends insisted no cross was burned despite flames being visible behind it in the photo.

News 9 spoke with the woman who reported it to police and like many others, she was outraged by this and embarrassed for the community.

Several other residents said they were ashamed that this kind of behavior happened among adults in their town.
